Four Seasons sales executive charged with blasphemy in Bali gay<\/a> wedding probe<\/b><\/p>\n

The sales executive at at the Four Seasons Resort in Ubud faces blasphemy charges for allowing a gay<\/a> couple<\/a> to hold a Hindu ceremony at the hotel.<\/p>\n

Ni Nyoman Mulyani, 36, has been named as a suspect in the case, which sparked outrage in Indonesia after photos of what was initially thought to be a gay<\/a> wedding went viral on Facebook. The two men<\/a> – a Westerner and a local – have already flown back to the US.<\/p>\n

Police now say it was actually a melukat, or Balinese karma cleansing ceremony, which explains the Hindu holy man<\/a> in the picture.<\/p>\n

‘We have enough evidence to accuse her of committing religious blasphemy,’ Gianyar police chief, Farman, told News Corporation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘From the investigation we have carried out there was a Hindu ritual package at the hotel, namely a karma cleansing ceremony for a couple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘We have questioned some Hindu experts and found that the Hindu religion does not acknowledge same-sex<\/a> couples<\/a>. The sales executive already knew the cleansing ceremony would be carried out by a gay<\/a> couple<\/a> which should not be done. So it was a religious blasphemy.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘We are still deepening the case, to find out the role of other persons involved in the ritual. There is a possibility for other suspects.’<\/p>\n

Bali is a popular wedding destination among Westerners, but Indonesian law defines marriage as between a man<\/a> and woman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The luxury five-star denied the same couple<\/a> a wedding ceremony at the hotel in December last year and has issued an apology to Hindus.<\/p>\n
