As Indonesia plans to ban sex outside marriage, millions of couples living in unofficial relationships could become targets. More here:
TANGERANG, Indonesia - After 13 years of happily unmarried life that has brought them three children, one middle-aged Indonesian couple is worried.
Although President Joko Widodo ordered parliament to delay a vote on the legal changes last month after street protests, Indonesians who could be affected are increasingly worried. Both he and his wife declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue in the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, where conservatism has been on the rise.
Like the couple who spoke to Reuters Video News, they are often in “Siri” marriages that are accepted from a religious perspective but have never been registered.
