The city is in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh, the country's only region with the autonomy to enforce Sharia law.
Members of the public gathered to watch the woman receive her punishment as she received lashes from officials from the regional Islamic police force, the Wilayatul Hisbah, and the Public Order Agency.
In the footage, the woman can be seen standing on a raised stage, wearing white robes and a headscarf and surrounded by officials and people filming on phones.
After receiving multiple lashes, the woman's knees give way as she collapses forward onto her face, with the officials walking forward to uncover her face.

The public flogging also saw two other defendants whipped for drinking alcohol and one for organising a room for the couple.
The man was reportedly punished with 75 lashes for providing a venue for the romp while the two alcohol drinkers received 40 lashes each, according to Tribun News.
Wilayatul Hisbah chief Zulkifli said: '[She] had to be carried away from the location because she fainted after receiving 100 lashes.'
The Islamic officer added that she quickly came round.
The woman was carried away but roused shortly afterwards according to those present at the flogging

Aceh is the only province in Indonesia with the autonomy to be able to enforce Sharia law and lashings.
The deeply conservative province carries out floggings for a range of offences, including drinking alcohol, adultery, and engaging in premarital or homosexual sex.
In 2018, Aceh officials vowed to end public floggings and carry them out behind prison walls instead, however, despite the promises the number of public floggings and canings has reportedly risen instead.
