Indonesia's Twilight Village Code

a strange new statute has been enacted in the pwagada region of west java, indonesia, which requires couples not to stay in the other party's room after 9 p.m.

and the offender will be forced to marry.

according to indonesian media reports, this statute also prohibits young people under the age of 17.

it was reported that a 50-year-old widower “trying to do it” often goes to his neighbor's house at night to “talk to love”.

the neighbour was a widow with a child and the two had been “targeted” for some time.

after receiving reports from the neighbourhood, the local villagers and the police forced the two to register the marriage.

since the enactment of the legislation, 70 per cent of the 193 villages under the jurisdiction of pwagada have expressed their support and developed a practical approach.
