COMMISSIONS: Sharia Law in post-tsunami Aceh, Indonesia: aceh016

Sharia policewomen detain a young woman after catching her without wearing a scarf, in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2009. Although Aceh is a matriarchal culture, women who break Sharia rules are often stigmatized, and often become objects of harassment, especially rape. Young adults who admit to having premarital sex are forced into marriage.
