The woman was flogged in public after she reportedly had s*x outside marriage
An Indonesian woman has been left in serious pains after being savagely whipped in a public for allegedly having s*x outside of marriage.
The incident happened in the Aceh province of Indonesia, which uses a strict form of Sharia law. Under the law, men and women are forbidden to have sexual relations outside of wedlock.
The punishment for extramarital affairs is lashing the individual in public to set example for others. Usually, the punishment is executed by a masked man wearing black robes on a raised platform.
Deputy mayor Zainal Arifin told local media: "Caning sentences have been enforced many times in the city of Banda Aceh.
"This proves that the government and the people of Banda Aceh are committed to implementing and enforcing the sharia."
Aceh has special autonomous status and is the only province in Indonesia to adopt Islamic law. It introduced Sharia law after being granted special autonomy in 2001.
