Protests from parents have forced an Indonesian district chief to abandon plans to check on whether female high school students in his jurisdiction were virgins.
"Because there are many people who object to this, well, I am cancelling the plan," the head of Indramayu district in West Java, Irianto Safiudin, said.
Safiudin unveiled his plan last week following the circulation via mobile phones of a brief video shot of two local high school students having sex. Both students have since left school and their whereabouts are unknown.
He said that a virginity examination on the some 3,500 female students in his district would have been aimed at informing parents about their children, helping them to become more attentive.
Safiudin said that he would instead seek other ways to ensure teenagers in his district behave morally.
