The material is attached to the 2013 curriculum package book for the Penjaskes subject issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture in the first semester of the SMA/MA/SMK class I issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture.

The material specifically appears on page 128-129. The Ministry of Education and Culture tries to describe how to date healthy. A dating without physical violence. An emotional, social, and sexual healthy dating.

This condition made the Ministry of Education and Culture think to 'improve' the intention of dating so that they are healthy so they are not trapped in a dangerous relationship. Nor violate religious norms.

He considered that the Ministry of Education and Culture had good intentions. He asked the public not to mind anymore. If the illustrated images are related to Muslim men and women in question. The Minister of Education and Culture is willing to change the picture, but not the contents.

"The book-student team includes the material because it departs from reality in our society. The term dating is already one of the social realities, although not all social realities are in accordance with one particular religious ethics, but social reality exists".

"The idea arises about how to date physically healthy, physically, socially healthy, and if you want to be perfected in a religious ethics manner. The point is, everything must be maintained so that dating is as healthy as that, not teaching children to date, but directing children so that in their relationship with the opposite sex does not fall into a dangerous relationship," Nuh explained as quoted by the wartakota page, October 12, 2014.
