Condoms: Indonesia goes tough on sellers
The mayor of a city on Indonesiaβs Sulawesi Island on Tuesday raided convenience stores selling condoms on the eve of Valentineβs Day.
As stated by local media the mayor of Makassar, Mohammad Pomanto, complained during snap inspections of mini marts that stores were selling condoms βlike they were candy.β
βValentineβs Day is a day of love but it doesnβt mean people can do anything in the name of love.
βItβs not about Valentineβs Day but itβs about moral degradation,β he said, adding that stores that sold it freely to unmarried teenagers would have their permits revoked.
2016 the mayor issued a circular requiring stores in the largest city in eastern Indonesia to sell condoms only to married people.
Indonesia is the worldβs largest Muslim-majority country where conservative views about s3x prevail.
