Jakarta – Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko has said that the TNI would accept female military personnel wearing an Islamic headscarf (hijab) only in Aceh.

"We have regulated that there is no prohibition [to wear the hijab]. If [you] want to wear the hijab then [you will be] transferred to Aceh. End of discussion," he said in response to a question on the issue from a woman soldier in Surabaya, East Java, on Friday.

"In principle, we are not rigid. We are accommodative," he said as quoted by Antara news agency.

Aceh is the only region where Islamic law is fully enforced.
