"And neither is physical abuse of woman/children or rape of a wife. In many cultures, the man still owns them as he does his property." I am not sure this is entirely true Marie. It may be true that in some cultures females and children have not legal rights as a citizen; but I think it is also true that abuse is seen as a sin and illegal. I am not saying I agree with these cultures but just for the record I don't think it is a cut and dry as you stated it. We do not afford pets citizen rights, yet we consider cruelty to them a sin. The legal authorities in some areas of the country don't pay much attention to animal cruelty but that doesn't make it legal. I know that there are cultures where sex slavory is allowed but I think even in these awful situations the doctrine of the culture considers cruelty to helpless females a sin. It is more of a situation where the tyranny of the elite and powerful overrides the morality of the culture. If you know of some exceptions, please educate me.
