This video shows an Indonesian woman collapsing from the pain after being flogged in public for having premarital sex.

The woman, name not disclosed, and her male lover each received 100 lashes for having premarital sex in the city of Lhokseumawe in Indonesia’s westernmost province of Aceh, the country’s only region with the autonomy to enforce sharia law, on Monday.

According to reports, members of the public witnessed the woman collapsing after receiving lashes from officials from the regional Wilayatul Hisbah (Islamic religious police force) and Satpol PP (Public Order Agency).

Local media also showed clips from the video shared on YouTube of the woman being beaten.

The public flogging also saw two other defendants whipped for drinking booze and one for organising a room for the premarital fling.

The man was reportedly punished with 75 lashes for providing a venue for the romp while the two alcohol drinkers received 40 lashes each, according to Tribun News.

Wilayatul Hisbah chief Zulkifli said: “[She] had to be carried away from the location because she fainted after receiving 100 lashes.”

The Islamic cop added that she quickly came round and was doing well afterwards.

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia with the autonomy to be able to enforce sharia law.

The deeply conservative province carries out floggings for a range of offences, including drinking booze, adultery, and engaging in premarital or homosexual sex.

In 2018, Aceh officials in 2018 vowed to end public floggings and carry them out behind prison walls instead, however, despite the promises the number of public floggings and canings has reportedly risen instead.
