SHARIAsource

This statute defines domestic violence as physicial, psychological or sexual violence, or domestic neglect. It outlines the rights of victims, including rights to protective and rehabilitative services, and sets out the possible punitive measures perpetrators may face.

This qanun places an absolute prohibition on gambling, which it defines as all activities and/or conduct, as well as situations, directed towards the placing of a bet. It places an onus on the governor, regents/mayors, sub-district leaders, heads of households and village heads, to implement the contents of this qanun, and instructs the governor and regents/mayors to establish a shari'a police (Wilayatul Hisbah) to ensure its implementation. The qanun prescribes as punishment for individuals found guilty of gambling 6-12 strokes of the cane, and for legal and non-government bodies a fine of between IDR 15-35 million.

This qanun was devised to foster and maintain the Islamic beliefs and religiosity of the individual and society in Aceh, providing legislative protection from misguided teachings. Crucially, at art 1(7), the qanun defines as Islamic creed (Aqidah Islamiah) a conservative interpretation of al-sunna wa'l-jama'a (Sunni Islam). It also seeks to increase understanding and the practice of worship, as well as the availability of appropriate places of worship. The qanun authorises the shari'a police (Wilayatul Hisbah) to conduct surveillance to ensure adherence thereto, and grants prosecutorial powers to general prosecutors to investigate and refer cases to the shari'a courts (Mahkamah Syar'iyah) in the event of a breach. Conduct punishable pursuant to this qanun includes disseminating un-Islamic teachings, apostasing, failing to attend Friday prayers (shalat jum'at) three times consecutively, and failing to provide prayer facilities. Punishment can include caning or imprisonment.

This provincial regulation obliges the regional government of Aceh to develop, guide, and monitor, the implementation of shari'a to the best of its abilities. The regulation defines implementation as including, among other things, aqidah (correct doctrine), ibadah (ritual worship), mu'amalah (commercial and civil matters), akhlak (goodness), Islamic education and the defence of Islam.

Chapter V of the regulation specifies punishments, including imprisonment, fines, and adat sanctions (art 19), but hudud penalties are not included.

This qanun is the Acehnese criminal procedure code. Article 5 states that it applies to all law enforcement agencies and persons in Aceh. It regulates the manner in which law enforcement officers conduct criminal investigations, the rights of the accused, the appropriate judicial forums for criminal trials, the manner in which prosecutors may prosecute a case, as well as the punitive measures a court may enforce, including caning, monetary fines, and imprisonment.

This statute declares gambling to be contrary to religion, as well as the decency and morals enshrined in the Pancasila. It specifically increases the severity of punishment for gambling, as prescribed in the Indonesian Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana), and is referenced in Aceh Qanun No. 13 of 2003 on Gambling.

This elucidation to Aceh Qanun No. 7 of 2013 provides a brief history of shari'a and its application in Aceh since the time of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam, through Dutch colonial times, up until the establishment and implementation of the first Aceh qanun. It then provides greater clarity and detail on the meanings of certain articles from Aceh Qanun No. 7 of 2013.

This qanun constitutes the Aceh Islamic Criminal Code. It prohibits jarimah (conduct prohibited under Islamic law, or sharīʿa) and imposes hudud and ta'zir punitive measures ('uqubat) as deterrents for committing jarimah. Specifically, the qanun prohibits khamar (alcohol), maisir (gambling), khalwat (close proximity in private), ikhtilath (non-sexual, pre-marital intimacy), zina (adultery), sexual abuse, rape, qadzaf (false accusation), liwath (sodomy), and musahaqah (lesbian relations).

Article 4(2) of the qanun defines hudud punishment as caning, while ta'zir, according to arts 4(3) and 4(4), is caning, monetary fines, imprisonment, and restitution.

Pursuant to art 5, persons subject to the qanun are:

1. all Muslim offenders in Aceh;
2. all non-Muslim offenders who commit an offence togther with another Muslim and voluntarily submit to the qanun;
3. all non-Muslims who commit an offence not covered in the Indonesian Criminal Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana) or that is outside the Indonesian Criminal Code, but regulated in the qanun; and
4. legal entities carrying out operations in Aceh.

This qanun regulates the tourism industry in Aceh, the implementation and coordination of which is based on faith and Islam (art 2(a)). The qanun requires tourists and tourism industry workers alike to adhere to Islamic values, and requires those working in the tourism industry to promote Islamic values. For instance, art 3(b) notes that one of the purposes of tourism in Aceh is to promote Aceh's Islamic historical and cultural values as a tourist attraction. Meanwhile, art 17(a) states that tourist attractions are to be cultivated with Islamic values in mind.

Articles 37 and 48 require hoteliers and restauranteurs, respectively, to ensure that their premises are not used in any manner that compromises public safety and order, or Islamic shari'a. Similarly, art 47(2) requires restaurants hosting performances by artists/singers to take into consideration Islamic requirements and this qanun.

Article 70 requires official tourist groups to conduct themselves in accordance with shari'a, while art 83 obliges Muslim tourists in Aceh to dress in accordance with Islam.

This fatwa declares the production, trafficking and usage of narcotics as haram (forbidden), punishable by hadd and/or ta'zir punishments. It distinguishes between the effect narcotics has on society with that of alcohol, noting the effect of the former to be far more grave. The fatwa also condones the death penalty for producing, trafficking or using narcotics, and opposes government intervention in penalties handed down for such misconduct.

This regional regulation categorises alcoholic beverages in accordance with their alcoholic content and prohibits their distribution and sale. It provides several exceptions to this rule:

1. if the beverage contains spices, jamu (herbal medicine), or the like and is for medicinal purposes;
2. 3-, 4-, or 5-star hotels;
3. certain fine-dining restaurants (Tanda Talam Kencana dan Talam Seloka);
4. certain places already stipulated in accordance with mayoral decrees/regulations; and
5. duty free shops selling alcohol to Indonesian diplomats, foreign workers, persons going overseas, and persons arriving from overseas.

The regulation does not, however, make any reference to Islam or religion.

This regional regulation prohibits prostitution for its repudiation of religious and moral norms. Most importantly, art 4(1) of the Regulation states that any person whose conduct is suspicious and gives rise to an assumption they are a prostitute is prohibited from being on the street, in a hotel, and places of entertainment. Possible sanctions include three months' imprisonment or a fine of up to IDR 15 million. Article 4(2) prohibits any person from being intimate, embracing and/or kissing in a sexual manner in public places or places visible to the public.

While this regional regulation does not specifically refer to religion (agama) or Islam, it aims to provide legal certainty for the community and law-enforcers in the monitoring and controlling of the distribution of alcoholic beverages. It is also concerned with societal behaviour and curbing crime resulting from alcohol abuse. It categorises alcoholic beverages in accordance with their alcoholic content (A - 0-5%; B - 6-20%; C - 21-55%) and qualifies that they may only be distributed and sold by direct sellers in: 

1. 3-, 4-, or 5-star hotels; and
2. certain fine-dining restaurants (Tanda Talam Kencana dan Talam Seloka).

Alcohol of types B and/or C sold in the above designated places may be consumed in hotel rooms on the condition that containers contain no more than 187 ml. If the region does not have such designated places, the regulation permits the regent to designate such places, after considering the tourist activities conducted in the area. The regulation places a blanket prohibition on beverages with an alcoholic content in excess of 55%.

Retailers are only permitted to sell alcohol in packaging, in designated areas, away from places of worship, schools, hospitals, or other places stipulated by the regent. The regent is also required to assemble a team comprising specialists in trade, industry, health, tourism, security and social order. The regulation also regulates the storage of alcoholic beverages, obligates alcohol vendors to submit official quarterly reports of their alcohol sales to the Kepala Dinas, and obliges society to assist in the monitoring and controlling of the distribution of alcoholic beverages.

While this regulation was replaced by Municipal Regulation No. 7 of 2014, its purpose was to create societal awareness and understanding in terms of the importance of the values of Islamic teachings and social norms, as well as the consequences of conducting oneself contrary to these teachings, to ensure the people develop a wise temperament sourced from the Qur'an and Sunnah, to ensure that non-Muslims respect and value Islamic norms adhered to by the majority of the population, to increase the faith and religious obedience of Muslims to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and to create a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

The regulation obliges all Muslims who have reached puberty (usia aqil baligh) to wear clothing that covers their aurat in accordance with Islamic teachings. Non-Muslims are similarly required to respect and value this regulation and to dress appropriately, in accordance with Tasikmalaya customs and traditions. The regulation also appeals to Islam by prohibiting Muslims from:

1. becoming involved in corrupt practices and abusing one's position of power;
2. committing adultery or prostitution (heterosexual and homosexual);
3. gambling;
4. ingesting intoxicants (alcoholic and narcotic);
5. carrying out abortions;
6. viewing pornography;
7. charging interest (riba) and making speculative sales (ijon);
8. practising idolatry;
9. facilitating child exploitation;
10. participating in organised crime; and
11. disseminating deviant sects/understandings.

This regional regulation replaces Tasikmalaya Municipal Regulation No. 12 of 2009. It obliges every person to implement the teachings of their own religion as a set of guidelines by which to live their lives, thereby avoiding the ignoble. Among its many provisions, it requires all persons to worship God, requires employers to make available prayer facilities for their employees, prohibits dubious economic and financial practices, mandates that the regional government and society increase the levels of religious education (both formal and informal) for younger people, and requires all persons to dress in accordance with their respective religious teachings, and local societal norms. In line with its predecessor, the regulation also prohibits the following:

1. becoming involved in corrupt practices and abusing one's position of power;
2. committing adultery or prostitution (heterosexual and homosexual);
3. gambling;
4. ingesting intoxicants (alcoholic and narcotic);
5. carrying out abortions;
6. viewing pornography;
7. charging interest (riba) and making speculative sales (ijon);
8. practising idolatry;
9. facilitating child exploitation;
10. participating in organised crime; and
11. disseminating deviant sects/understandings.

This mayoral regulation was drafted to regulate the special team assembled to enforce the obligations contained in Tasikmalaya Municipal Regulation No. 7 of 2014. The team is non-structural and reports directly to the Mayor of Tasikmalaya.

This statute makes amendments to Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, and is designed to further improve protections afforded to children.

This regional regulation prohibits prostitution, as well as any ancillary act designed to facilitate prostitution.

This regional regulation prohibits, in the regency of South Lampung, all forms of prostitution and promiscuity, or any ancillary conduct designed to facilitate prostitution, whether by man or woman, heterosexual or homosexual. It also prohibits adultery; gambling; pornographic images, which contradict religious norms, legal norms, morality and traditional customs. It defines immorality (maksiat) as all conduct that degrades the foundations of communal social life, and that contravenes current religious norms, legal norms, morality, and traditional customs.

This regional regulation prohibits vagrancy and begging of all types, as well as prostitution. In its preamble it states that it aims to prevent persons from preying on the sympathy and mercy of others, labelling such conduct akin to a mental illness or idle behaviour not in accordance with religious teachings. It also states that promiscuity contradicts social and religious norms, and easily endangers the younger generations, as well as facilitating the spread of the HIV/AIDS virus, and other viruses. 

Contravention of the regulation can result in a prison sentence of, at most, six months and/or a fine of as much as IDR 5 million. Coordination and monitoring of the implementation of this regulation rests with the mayor, who may assemble an integrated monitoring team for certain related matters.
