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.
