A woman has passed out after she and her partner were lashed 100 times each for having sex outside of marriage under an Indonesian province's draconian Sharia laws.
The woman, who was not identified, needed to be carried away after she was publicly caned in Banda Aceh, on the north end of Sumatra island, today.
A figure dressed head-to-toe in an ominous brown garb with a white mask administered the lashes. The woman's partner was seen grimacing as he took the punishment.
Unmarried couples are not allowed to have sex under the harsh laws in the region of Aceh, which is the only place in Muslim-majority Indonesia to administer Sharia law.
