An unnamed woman in the Indonesian province of Banda Aceh has been publicly lashed with a cane in accordance with Shariah law for having a relationship with a man outside marriage.
The unnamed woman going through her punishment
The woman was made to kneel on a stage specifically erected for the punishment. She appears to hold her head in apparent pain and anguish at the brutal punishment.
The man she was allegedly involved with also faced the same punishment, and although he appeared more stoic, the grimace on his face was clear.
The man in the alleged relationship also received the same punishment
Banda Aceh is the only Indonesian province that observes strict Shariah law.
A number of Islamic laws have also been passed in Banda Aceh in recent years, including a ban on women in entertainment places at night unless they are accompanied by a male relative.
