JAKARTA - Indonesia's Parliament appears set to scrap a "family resilience" Bill proposed by conservatives that would have made it mandatory for women to stay at home and treat their husbands well.
Following a public outcry that the planned legislation is in breach of citizens' privacy, the House of Representatives, or DPR, said it would further review the proposal.
