RE: Indonesian Couple Whipped for Premarital Sex 😱

in Atheism4 years ago

caning.
in my opinion it's very good. The aim is to be a learning process for those who testify and for the convicted person. in my opinion this is a light sentence and a solution to solve the problem.

many couples who have sex but are not given any punishment. in this case what will happen. ?

it's likely that the couple will have sex again, or he will have sex with someone else's husband or wife. so whiping in public is the solution to that problem.

I asked a friend who did not agree with caning. if your daughter or wife has sex with another man. What would you do ?
he immediately answered I would kill the man. but why when there is a partner who is said to be bad caning.

In my opinion, caning is a mild punishment and a solution to prevent perpetrators.

Sort:  

I respect your view, but if we consider that this practice has been implemented for centuries, maybe, and still we have perpetrators, I am not sure to what extent it is a solution.
I do not think it solves anything. The inmorality of the act is based on religious grounds, most likely, but like any moral judgement, it will aways be subjected to generational gaps (in most cultures, what was inmoral 50 years ago, sometimes less, it becomes accepted now).
It gets aggravated when people learn about their leaders' tresspassings. In the case of catholic countries, for instance, every time a priest abuses a minor it demoralizes the whole system, it renders priests' authority hypocritical and lame.
People do not correct destructive behavior, even when it actually damages them (alcohol, drugs, cigarretes, etc.). I think we are a flawed design. Some may fight it and persevere (we all know some virtuous people), but most soccumb to their wiring.

Agreed with this

The immorality of the act is based on religious grounds, most likely, but like any moral judgement, it will always be subjected to generational gaps (in most cultures, what was immoral 50 years ago, sometimes less, it becomes accepted now).
