Revised code criminalizes public kissing
Hera Diani, The Jakarta Post/Jakarta
Watch out all you lovebirds out there -- there is now a chance that lip-locking in public could send you to jail for 10 years and cost you as much as Rp 300 million (US$32,800) in fines.
These new penalties for conspicious, unrestrained lust -- or just perhaps a peck on the lips -- are part of the new Criminal Code (KUHP) draft by a team led by legal expert and former justice minister Muladi.
The same penalties apply for "an adult showing certain sensual body parts."

The revised code includes new regulations on environmental degradation, terrorism and human rights and has 727 articles, compared with the existing code's 569.
Some critics say the draft is repressive in parts and interferes too much in people's private lives, while others say some articles would limit freedom of expression or contravene human rights laws.
The most-criticized articles include those on public morality, especially the proposed sanctions for possessing pornography, kissing in public, adultery and de facto couples.
If the code is passed extant, unmarried couples could be penalized with to two years' jail and a maximum fine of Rp 30 million; the article would also give police and officials the power to raid houses of all those they suspected of living together.
Law expert and women's rights activist Nursyahbani Katjasungkana said the morality articles were excessive and infringed on the "rights of the body."
"To protect children from pornography, we should regulate its distribution, not make it into a crime. And as far as kissing (in public) or living together goes, these new laws go way too far," Nursyahbani said.
