    156: Prohibition of outraging religious feelings

    (1) No person shall outrage the religious feelings of any caste, race, community, or class by words, either spoken or written, by visible representation or signs or otherwise.

    (2) A person who commits, or causes to be committed, the offense referred to in sub-section (1) shall be liable to a sentence of imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years and a fine not exceeding 20,000 rupees.

    I wonder if they recently increased the severity. This overview of blasphemy law says that Morocco normally only gives two years in prison.
