Aceh is the only province in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country that imposes sharia law. In the latest caning, five people -- two women and three men -- were flogged in front of a cheering crowd at a mosque in the provincial capital Banda Aceh. She was lashed seven times with a rattan cane by a man wearing long robes and a hood, with just slits for the eyes. The 32-year-old man with whom she was caught was also flogged seven times. However Aceh authorities typically spare pregnant women from canings.
