In the Criminal Code Bill that has been passed into the new Indonesian Criminal Code, this act has been included as a criminal act of decency. Therefore, the author wants to know and examine the arrangements for the crime of cohabitation in the new Criminal Code and what causes the pros and cons of the crime of adultery in the new Criminal Code. The method used in this study is a normative juridical method, namely focusing research on library research, the source of the data is taken from books and statutory regulations. Of the various pros and cons regarding the existence of policies and regulations regarding cohabitation, the author hopes that the existence of the new Criminal Code can better protect women and reduce the rate of abortion in Indonesia with strict rules regarding the behavior of Kumpul Kebo. Because with the existence of strict rules that are applied, it will reduce deviant behavior outside of marriage and free sex behavior.
