The idea is “to mold a generation of people who faithfully comply with Islamic values in their daily lives.”
Another effect will be to turn people away from Islam, as has happened in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Indonesia’s Aceh bans unrelated men and women from being together in public,” by Uzair Thamrin, Benar News, August 11, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Indonesia’s religiously conservative Aceh region has forbidden men and women not related or married to one another from being together in public places or vehicles, by issuing new tightened rules for keeping the opposite sexes apart.
The new regulations, which were made public this week, are intended to reduce sinful behavior, says the government of Aceh, the only Indonesian province that practices Sharia, or Islamic law….
“Men and women who are not married or related cannot sit together in public places, secluded places or in vehicles,” one of the points in the official notice said.
Concurrently, the province’s main form of entertainment, its 24-hour coffee shops, have been ordered to limit their hours of operation, and shut at midnight.
And to ensure the new provincial rules are more convenient to follow, the mayor of the Acehnese capital Banda Aceh said he had forbidden women altogether from public areas beyond 11 p.m.
The new rules were issued to strengthen Sharia law and as an effort to reduce immorality, Aceh government spokesman Muhammad MTA said on Friday.
They are also intended “to mold a generation of people who faithfully comply with Islamic values in their daily lives,” he said.
The Aceh government’s notice does not specify whether authorities would punish anyone who violates the rules, although under the province’s Sharia, caning is the punishment for alcohol consumption, gambling, adultery, and dress-code violations.
In Banda Aceh, Mayor Amiruddin, who goes by one name, said he would deploy the Sharia Police – known as the Wilayatul Hisbah – to ensure compliance with the new rules….

Maybe Ansor – Nahdlatul Ulama’s youth wing who wants to export “moderate islam” – could start here in Aceh, and tell the authorities there how they are corrupting material from quran/sunnah for their own self-serving purposes? Just like they’re saying about al Qaeda and ISIS

Noit much new there. Those rules have always applied in predominantly Islamic countries and Aceh has long been the most sharia compliant of Indonesia’s provinces

This rule will provide no real problems for a lot of people.
Due to the amount of interbreeding that is rampant within mudslime society, everyone is related to each other so there is no drama

These imposters have no clue what they are doing! They are in fact blaspheming the Qur’an, Allah and his messenger!
It would be juat as Islamic and probably much more popular to provide for breast suckling of adults!
Anyway, Amirudin insults Allah because he has predestined everything in the lives of Muslims. Now Amiruddin actively works against the will of Allah to prevent things from happening which Allah himself has ordained! Any Muslim man will rape exactly the number of women which Allah has predestined him to do.
Remember that Allah hates those who lead sinless lives!
Anyway, what is sin in the world of absolute predestination, and a world being lead and led astray by Allah?
The only thing which may be counted as sin in such a world is to obstruct the sovereign will of Allah!
That is exactly what Amirudin is doing! There will be no virgins and little boys for him!
