Islamic
police in the Indonesian province of Aceh have forced two women to have their
marriage annulled and sign an agreement to separate.
 |
| Aceh is the only province in Indonesia to apply Sharia law |
The women
had been legally married for a few months after one of them passed as a man in
front of an Islamic cleric who presided over their wedding.
But
suspicious neighbours confronted the couple and reported them to police.
The two
women are now back with their families, forcibly separated and under
surveillance by the Islamic police.
The local
Sharia police chief told them Islam said they must be beheaded and burned for
what they had done.
But Aceh,
the only province in Indonesia that is allowed to implement Sharia law, has yet
to adopt any provisions dealing with gay and lesbian people.
The
provincial parliament passed Islamic laws authorising the stoning to death of
adulterers and the caning of homosexuals in 2009, but the governor has refused
to sign it.
Homosexuality
is frowned upon but legal in Indonesia.
Activists
have blamed Aceh's Sharia laws for encouraging vigilantism and intolerance, and
say they violate the Indonesian constitution.
