Woman and man accused of sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol faced what is likely to be one of the severest punishments since Aceh province adopted sharia law
The couple was among six people flogged for breaking the Islamic code, including a sharia police officer and his female partner, who were caught in close proximity in a private place. That couple received 23 strikes each.
What the hell does this mean? Some guy was “in close proximity” with his wife in private?

I’m betting the correct interpretation of this phrase is that the female is his POLICE partner, not romantic.
Just a guess… but that they’re not actually married.
edit: yeah, they weren’t actually married. also they drank booze.
