The couple, a man and a woman, were struck on their backs with a rattan stick in a public park while dozens of people watched, according to an AFP reporter at the scene. The woman fainted after enduring her punishment and was escorted to an ambulance.<\/p>\n
In total, the pair received 140 lashes: 100 for sex outside marriage and 40 for consuming alcohol, the head of Banda Aceh\u2019s Sharia police, Muhammad Rizal, told AFP.<\/p>\n
It is thought to be one of the highest numbers of cane lashes imposed since sharia was implemented after Aceh was granted special autonomy in 2001.<\/p>\n
The couple was among six people flogged for breaking the Islamic code, including a sharia police officer and his female partner, who were caught in close proximity in a private place. That couple received 23 strikes each.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs promised, we make no exceptions, especially not for our own members. This certainly tarnishes our name,\u201d Rizal said.<\/p>\n
Caning is implemented in Aceh to punish a range of offences, including gambling, drinking alcohol, having gay sex and having sexual relations outside marriage.<\/p>\n
In 2025, two men were publicly flogged 76 times each after they were found guilty of sexual relations by the sharia court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
