“The adulterer and the adulteress, lash each one of them a hundred times. And do not let pity for the two prevent you from obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment.” (Qur’an 24:2)
But she confessed, you see, and he didn’t.
“Indonesian woman flogged 100 times for adultery while her male partner receives just 15 lashes,” by Stuti Mishra, Independent, January 15, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An Indonesian woman was flogged 100 times for committing adultery after she confessed to having an extramarital affair, while her male partner received 15 lashes.
The incident took place in Indonesia’s conservative Aceh province on Thursday. The punishment was given in accordance with the Islamic Sharia law system under which public punishments such as lashing are a common practice.
The flogging was seen and filmed by many who gathered on Thursday to witness the public beating. The woman’s flogging had to be briefly paused because she couldn’t bear the pain, reported news agency AFP.
Ivan Najjar Alavi, the head of the general investigation division at East Aceh prosecutors office, told AFP that the court handed down a heftier sentence for the married woman after she confessed to investigators that she had sex outside of her marriage.
While they said the man, the head of East Aceh’s fishery agency, made no such admission, Hence the judges could not convict him. According to reports, the man was also married.
“During the trial, he admitted nothing, denying all accusations. Thus, [judges] are not able to prove whether he is guilty,” Mr Alavi was quoted by the agency as saying, after the public flogging.
The judges instead found the married man guilty of “showing affection to a female partner who is not his wife” after the two were spotted by locals together at a palm oil plantation in 2018.
The man was sentenced to 30 lashes. But he appealed to the province’s Sharia court, which reduced his punishment to 15 lashes.
The Associated Press reported that another man convicted of having sex with a minor was also whipped 100 times on the same day.
The man was also slapped with a 75-month prison sentence for the crime….

This shows how important it is to always tell the truth if you are a Muslim. Ha.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Keith O says
The only good news here is that the kiddy fiddler got a jail sentence and a flogging. Even though both punishments were a bit lenient!
gravenimage says
“Kiddy (sic) fiddler”? Keith, where is there any indication that the woman was underaged? Besides, there is no punishment in Islam for having sex with children. Then, if you are correct and the female is a child bride, she was punished even more heavily.
somehistory says
He is referring to this from the article:
“The Associated Press reported that another man convicted of having sex with a minor was also whipped 100 times on the same day.
The man was also slapped with a 75-month prison sentence for the crime…”.
gravenimage says
Thank you, Somehistory–I had missed that referrence.
I doubt he was convicted for having sex with a child–more likely just because he hadn’t “married” his victim. I wonder what happened to the child?
somehistory says
They should round up all of the males with little girls they call “wives” whom they rape daily, and throw some lashes their way and lock them away for years…enough that they die inside of old age or disease.
Wellington says
That would entail, somehistory, rounding up untold millions of Muslim males, perverts all.
It’s a beautiful and decent thought on your part but it is not gong to happen because the worst religion of all time still gets a pass throughout the world, including a dumbed-down Western world let by moral morons like Biden, Trudeau, Pope Francis, BoJo, Macron, et al.
somehistory says
I know, Wellington. But, I dream large. I imagine in huge “what’ ifs” and big they “should” do this or that.
raja says
Somehistory,
We always dream big. No risks involved here. But when it comes to islam we are having to discern the potential pitfalls that comes with the Islamic cult.

Indonesia: Woman flogged 100 times for adultery, her male partner gets only 15 lashes
…………..
Knowing what we do about Islam this does not surprise.
In stonings men are buried up to their waists, and women to their necks. That, and given men’s usually greater upper body strength, means that men sometimes can escape–women, almost never. Generally if one can escape the sentence is not carried out–but the one case where I saw that a woman was able to escape she was dragged back to the hole and reburied more securely.
Speaking of stoning, there have been repeated attemps to legalize stoning in Aceh. It was passed in 2009, but later vetoed there–but I’m sure this will not the lasty time pious Muslims are going to try.
God, I hate Islam.

Infidel says
That woman sure was stupid! Did she have to confess to the adultery? She could have come up w/ something creative, such as her hubby blasphemed Mohammed, so she wanted to have sex w/ a believer: that would have helped her skate, and taught her hubby a good lesson for ratting her out ?
raja says
Infidel,
Any stupid things is plausible in islam. I won’t be surprised if some “devout” Muslim women discovers that some day.
abu taleb says
The woman was flogged 100 times and you add the pain by calling her stupid. What kind of person are you?
The woman were telling the truth and you advise her to lie? Sounds like what a pious muslim does.
Infidel says
Lying is one of the most sensible things one can do when dealing w/ muslims, who are congenital liars. Had she lied, she might have escaped being flogged 100 times. The guy in this story lied, and his lashes were below a third of that number
abu taleb says
Quran says muslims can lie pretending to be non muslims to save his/her own live, it can be interpreted as pretending to be a Christian to get money like the previous jihadist in UK (I think).
Sounds like you are following Quranic teaching.
gravenimage says
Infidel, torture is rife in Aceh. She may have “confessed:” under torture.
https://www.hrw.org/reports/2004/indonesia0904/5.htm
Infidel says
But the guy in this case denied this. Ultimately he got fewer lashes. She too could have lessened her number of lashes – it may have been more than 15 or 30, but less than 100
gravenimage says
I’m saying that she might have been tortured–this could account for a confession. Or maybe she was just more honest–or more foolish–than he was.
raja says
???
Infidel says
My reaction as well!
abu taleb says
Islam is truely a religion for (evil) men.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“The adulterer and the adulteress, lash each one of them a hundred times. And do not let pity for the two prevent you from obedience to Allah, if you believe in Allah and the last day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment.” (Qur’an 24:2)
I do not believe in the last day, because I do not know what “the last day” is.
Where in the Quran is this last day defined?
Holger Kruger says
Last day is ww3
rooare says
Mark Spahn, last day is when Muslims discover Allah’s proper name is Lucifer.
gravenimage says
The “last day” is also known as “end times”.
OLD GUY says
Oh least we forget under Islam women have no rights and are property, she is lucky her husband didn’t just kill her for offending his honor.
WHY do we want to bring these islamic believers to America after witnessing their idea of society and their belief that they MUST convert everyone to Islam through violence or enslavement. Lets leave them to there selves.
revereridesagain says
Proportions pretty much like Texas, NH, and Miss. Don’t think so? Wait’ll til they learn to really enable men to have babies!r
somehistory says
-1000 for the deceit.
gravenimage says
revereridesagain, your claim that Texas, New Hampshire, and Mississippi flog women for adultery is dead wrong. You have said similar things before, despite their being baseless.
PRCS says
The charge of adultery requires four male witnesses to prove it DID happen.
As the article made no mention of witnesses to actual adultery (other than being seen alone–apparently fully clothed, in public), I suspect she was coerced into a confession.
“The judges instead found the married man guilty of “showing affection to a female partner who is not his wife” after the two were spotted by locals together at a palm oil plantation in 2018.”
*Not sure why this took four years from “being caught” to so-called divine punishment*
Had she demanded to publicly challenge the four (non-existent) witnesses”, her fellow Muslims would still have flogged her 15 times–for showing affection–as with the man.
See, Islamic law really IS compassionate.
(cough)
gravenimage says
PRCS, the victim confessed. That she likely did so under torture makes no difference under Shari’ah.
PRCS says
The point was—if there was no adultery—she should have demanded to challenge the four non-existent witnesses.
gravenimage says
I take your point–but this “four adult male witnesses” often just works one way in Islam.
Lisa Tea says
You would think the woman herself could have testified that she had sex with the man, except it would require two women’s testimony to equal the one man’s testimony It only she could identify some birthmark that wasn’t visible, had confided in a girlfriend, or been sexing with him. Nope that still wouldn’t suffice as evidence in these crazy Sharia courts.
