Woman flogged until she passed out for having sex out of wedlock

Shocking footage has re-emerged of a woman being beaten so badly she has to be taken away by paramedics.

The video, filmed in the strict Indonesian province of Aceh, reportedly shows 20-year-old
Nur Elita being flogged for having had sex with a man out of wedlock, metro.co.uk reports



Aceh is the only province in Indonesia to impose sharia law. People face being flogged for a range of offences – from gambling to drinking and having gay sex.

Although the clip was originally filmed in 2015, it has reappeared on social media after being shared by Zee News journalist Tarek Fatah.

A cheering crowd holds out smartphones to film the disturbing event, whilst Elita screams and collapses in front of Baiturrahman Mosque, Banda Aceh. Her 23-year-old lover was also flogged five times with the cane.

At the time the deputy mayor Zainab Arifin called the beating a warning saying: ‘Make the implementation of caning as a lesson.

‘Whatever was done by the detainees, the whip should not have to be used as an example. I hope this is for the last time.’

He then sent letters to the couple reminding them not to repeat their offences.


As the woman, wearing a salmon-pink hijab, is taken away by paramedics she appears completely unresponsive.

The crowd begins to cheer as the woman is rushed away by the medics, while professional photographs are taken of the victim.

As is customary for these types of video the person administering the punishment is completely covered, with only slits for eyes.
