A video of the brutal event shows the woman kneeling on the floor dressed in a white veil as a man cloaked in black with his head covered stands above her.
Men attending the event in the city of Banda Aceh, in Indonesia's Aceh province, hold out their phones to record as the official, known as an 'aogojo', brings the cane down on her back.
Such public whippings are common for crimes including gambling, drinking alcohol, having homosexual sex and having s-x before marriage.
Having adopted a form of Sharia Law following its 2001 autonomy, the practice of caning the upper back of offenders has been practiced in Aceh.
It is the only province in the country that allows flogging.
