Creating a specific law for foreigners might not be a good option as that could be deemed as a discrimination to other local citizens (even when the same condition is applied to Indonesian men outside Indonesia) <br /><br />Regarding the blackmail, all I can say is that it should be considered as an inherent risk when you are engaging in a sexual relationship outside valid marriage. <br /><br />I don't think that the Government really think about this issue, but the costs of establishing a separate system just to prove that the foreigner guy is being tricked to have sex with the girl would be very high.<br /><br />In other words, since now you can be held responsible for the kids, foreigners will have higher incentives to avoid having relationship with the girls. Thus, in a way, the market for fraudulent girls will also be affected and we can see less of these cases in the future. Pramudya A.

Your section 3 does not discuss the result of a more disturbing trend in Indonesia which I have encountered which pertains directly to foreigners, particularly men. I am aware of several men who have been lied to about the use of contraceptives or had them sabotaged by their partner in an attempt to get pregnant. This is for a wide range of reasons from simple emotional/financial blackmail to the absurd idea that a half "bule" baby will be better in some way. With this change in the law it will become more attractive for women of this nature to force a foreigner into paying for their child (which they have concieved my deceit) by having the legal status of father forced apon them. Up to 18 years of age an illegitimate child is now entitled to financial support under the new ruling (my understanding). This immediately leads to situations where the temptresses lifestyle is supplemented through association with a child. "The baby needs a Mercedes to go to school" is a simple rational to extort this relationship through legal means and could be continous until the child in question is 18 or even later, when married. Any other form of support can be justified by a good lawyer (or cheap judge as the joke goes) in a court e.g. it is in the childs interest to enjoy and discover the world hence this claim for a trip to disneyland is relevant.<br /><br />This also has serious implications for the foreigners estate with the illegitimate child gaining rights in the fathers home nation.<br /><br />I think the law needs to be annexed to apply extra conditions where a foreigner is involved and that it must be proved beyond reasonable doubt that no intent was evident to entrap the other party (this is to be determined by a court and jury). This could also apply to Indonesian men abroad who have international claims forwarding with similar circumstances too.<br /><br />I am interested in your thoughts on this particular issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
