Rechtliche Übersicht

Indonesia's national law does not make selling or buying sex between adults an offence as such, but it criminalises organising it, and many regional bylaws ban both. The new Criminal Code (KUHP, Law No. 1 of 2023), in force since 2 January 2026, punishes any sexual intercourse with a person who is not one's spouse with up to one year's imprisonment (Article 411) and punishes cohabitation (Article 412), but both can be prosecuted only on complaint by a spouse, a parent or a child. Facilitating obscene acts by others is punishable with up to two years, a third more when done habitually or for profit (Articles 420–421). The Pornography Law 2008 bans offering or advertising sexual services. Regional bylaws, such as Jakarta's public-order bylaw, prohibit selling and buying sex, and in Aceh zina is punished with 100 lashes.

In der Praxis

The Pornography Law prohibits providing a pornographic service that offers or advertises sexual services, directly or indirectly, including over the internet (Art. 4(2)(d)); since 2 January 2026 this carries up to six years and/or a fine of up to IDR 500 million. Online platforms must remove prohibited content on government order within 24 hours. In Aceh, promoting zina is a separate offence. Directories may not list escort services here: a site that carries other people's ads can be prosecuted or fined.
