The government defines religions as having a prophet, sacred, and gods and is internationally recognized. The government assumes that six official religions meet these requirements. An organization that represents any of the six official religions listed in the laws on blasphemy to God is established based on a notarized document and needs to obtain a legal constitution if the Ministry of Human Rights is approved. No. Religious groups other than six religions recognized by the laws must obtain legal constitution from Moha as a civil society organization (CSO). The two ministry will discuss with MORA before giving legal status to religious organizations. This law obliges all CSOs to support Pansira's national ideology, including the principle of religion, justice, justice, unification, democracy, and social justice. The act of spreading hatred is prohibited.

By law, all religious groups must formally register with the government. Religious group registration requirements include the following conditions. Religious groups must have a notarized constitution (articles of incorporation) and specific purpose. After that, the group is registered in Mora. After MORA's approval, the organization will be announced through state paper. If a law violates the law, there is a possibility that the loss of legal status, the dissolution of the organization, or the arrest of members based on the criminal blasphemy clause or other applications will be carried out. Indigenous religious groups must register with the Ministry of Education as Arilan Kepelkayan to gain formal legal status.

A joint decree from Molla, Moha, and Ago prohibits the Fajar Nusantara Movement, known as Ghafatar, from proselytizing or publicly disseminating its teachings or any other activity deemed to spread a deviant interpretation of Islam. Anyone who violates the ban can be charged with blasphemy and face a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

No joint decree bans other groups from proselytizing. However, the MUI has issued fatwas banning what it calls deviant groups, including Inkar al-Sunna, Ahmadiyya, Jama'a Islam, Lia Eden Community, and Al-Qiyadah al-Islamiya. The MUI does not designate Shiite Islam as deviant, but has issued fatwas and guidance warning against the spread of Shiite teachings.

The government requires all officially registered religious groups to follow instructions from the Mola and other ministries on issues such as building places of worship, accepting foreign aid from domestic religious groups, and spreading religion.

According to a joint ministerial decree issued by Mola and Moha in 2006, religious groups may not hold worship services in private homes, and anyone who wants to build a house of worship must obtain signatures from at least 90 members of their group and 60 other religious groups in the area supporting the construction. Enforcement of the ordinance is the responsibility of local governments, which have a wide range of local regulations, implementation, and enforcement. The ordinance also requires the approval of a local interreligious council, called the Forum Harmony Forum (FKUB), before construction can proceed. The government's FKUBs exist at the provincial and district/city levels and are the religious leaders of the six official groups. They are responsible for mediating interreligious conflicts.

The law requires religious instruction in public schools. Students have the right to request religious instruction in any of the six official religions, but teachers are not always able to provide the requested religious lessons. By law, students cannot be exempted from mandatory religious education.

Since the establishment of the Achie State Autonomy Special Law in 2001, the Shalya Ache Law has been implemented by the Islamic Court. Based on the 2005 peace agreement, which ended the separation of dispute, Ache had the only authority to enforce the Shalya Act. The law has acknowledged and regulating Shalia by the state, and has expanded the jurisdiction of religious courts to economic trading and criminal cases. The Acha State government has declared that Achie's Shalia is applied only to stat e-i n-people Muslims, but Muslims and other religion believers in other religions will accept Sharia instead of criminal penalties. can.

Ache is the only state that implements the Sharia Ai Law. The Acha State Congress adopted the Acha Islamic Penal Code in 2014 and enforced in 2015. In Achae, the Shalya Law has been implemented since the establishment of the State Autonomy Special Law in 2001 and has been executed by the Islamic Court. These laws specify up to 100 whip sentences in some cases. Crime includes homosexuality, pr e-marriage negotiations, other sexual relationships outside of marriage, drinking, gambling, marriage and relatives alone, sexual assault, rape, four witnesses. Includes accusation of adultery. According to women's rights activists, sexual assaults and rape victims may be punished for adultery if the perpetrator states that the encounter was on agreement.

Governor Aceh has prohibited women from working or visiting women after 9:00 pm without spouse or male relatives. The Banda Chase's Ordinance does not allow women to work at cafes, Internet cafes, and sports venues after 11:00 pm, and to visit such places after 10:00 pm without appropriate relatives. 。 Shallia's rules prohibit Muslim women living in Ache from wearing cramped clothes in public, and officials often recommended head scarves. In this rule, local officials can "remember" Muslim women, but they cannot be detained just because they violate the rules. In the area where Ache is located, when riding on a motorcycle, women are prohibited from sitting over. The maximum penalty for violating the Shalia's rules is the forbidden sentence and the cane penalty. There are regulations to restrict the power that authorities can exercise during cannons.

Many local governments other than Aceh have adopted regulations based on religious considerations. Most of them are in areas where Muslims account. Many of these regulations are related to religious education and only applicable to specific religious organizations. Some religious regional regulations are applied to all citizens. For example, there are local rules that are obliged to close restaurants during the fasting time in Ramadan, prohibit alcohol, or to collect Zakato (Islam). At least 30 local rules, including Sintang, in Western Kalimantan, are banned or restricted religious minorities, especially Shiia and Ahmadi Muslims.

Despite the 1986 Supreme Court ruling, the law was sometimes interpreted as prohibiting marriage between religions. The law obliges the wedding in accordance with the rituals and teachings of both bride and groom. In 2005, Mui Fatowa declared a marriage between different religions as a harm (prohibition).

The law obliges the leader of the Arilan Kepelkayan Group to prove that the group members live in at least three cases (administrative divisions below the state) before marriage. These restrictions have effectively hindered members of some small groups without such geographical existence, but they are virtually hindered by members of their religion, but the group helps each other. It can promote marriage ceremony by group officials with similar traditions and rituals.

The law stipulates that adoption must be the same religion as adoptive parents. In the case of an unknown child, the government generally determines that it is the same religion as the religious majority of areas where the adopted child was discovered. The adoptive parents have declared their religion to God and have to appear in the court hearing.
