An Indonesian man - who worked for an organisation that helped draft strict adultery laws - has been publicly whipped after being caught having an affair with a married woman.

Mukhlis bin Muhammad of the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU) was flogged 28 times.

The woman he had the affair with was caned 23 times.

Mukhlis is from the deeply conservative Aceh region, the only place in Indonesia which practises the strict Islamic law, Sharia.

Gay sex and gambling are also punishable by public caning in Aceh.

"This is God's law. Anyone must be flogged if proven guilty, even if he is a member of the MPU," Husaini Wahab, the deputy mayor of Aceh Besar district, where Mukhlis lives, told BBC News Indonesia.

The couple were caught by officials in September, apparently in a car parked near a tourist beach.

The caning happened on Thursday. Mr Husaini added that Mukhlis would be expelled from the MPU.

The 46-year-old is also an Islamic religious leader. He is the first religious leader to be publicly caned in Aceh since Sharia law came into force in 2005.

Setting aside their reprehensible and barbaric backward practices from the dark ages, isn't this always the way of things? The most strident moralists so often end up getting caught out doing exactly what it is they so publicly revile.

He should have just stuck to flogging his log.

they always try and hide behind their morality. You can see it with the twitter mob. Someone that virtue signals generally doubts his own convictions.

You sound like a habitual adulterer...... strong conflict of interest there.

There is a saying in Afrikaans: "'n lat pluk vir jou eie gat"

This is exactly what this dude did

Not from my side, since I'm unattached. Serial philanderer and general reprobate, sure, but at least I don't dictate or particularly care what people do with their pink parts.

When it comes to marriage I don't mind adulterers publically flogged.... it's better than spouses in moments of anger throwing bricks or shooting people. Marriage should be sacred.... they can always bring back the death penalty for it instead if you want.

So on your planet publicly flogging people who don't comply with your moral view is the solution to domestic violence?

It's actually also the solution to domestic violence, flog the fcker in public everytime he beats her.

 

[Hemi300c]

Just like all the anc Exco and their setting up commissions etc when they are guilty of the crimes

How enlightened. Sounds like you'd be happier in the other SA (Saudi Arabia).

Not quite flogging but up until very recently in Japan you were legally entitled to financial compensation from your cheating spouse and the person they cheated on you with. The adultery was bad enough but the financial twist gave it some extra spice.

It made for some hilarious reading on Japanese relationship forums with people getting caught and klapped with thousands in punitive damages.

If rambo had his way he'd want the cheating spouse to commit sudoku.

Yes, I am a barbarian, I admit it.

Having the cheaters stab each other would be better.

Sooo much anger, did you catch your wife playing with someone's no-no?

What if she was looking for or deserved it?

 

[rambo919]

What if she was looking for or deserved it?

Have him submit his case to the equally gendered jury/panel. If they find she deserved it and he went soft on her give him the option of further public flogging, if they find he went to far he gets flogged.

Kinky Buggers. Whipping each others asses in public.
