Bali’s governor says Indonesia’s ban on sex outside marriage poses no risk to tourists
Island’s governor Wayan Koster says visitors ‘would not need to worry’ about changes to the country’s criminal code
Visitors to Bali will not be put at risk by Indonesia’s newly ratified criminal code, the island’s governor said, dismissing concerns that revised laws which include articles criminalising sex outside marriage may scare away tourists from its shores.
Indonesia’s parliament last week passed the controversial bill that also prohibits cohabitation between unmarried couples.
