is the holy truth then we shouldn't have incest in the US or UK. But we do
have incest and pedophilia all over the world. Certain cultures do sanction
incest and pedophilia as the ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures which
promoted both. Many modern cultures do sanction incest and pedophilia. But I
can assure you that in literate orthodox Hindu culture, incest is frowned
upon since ancient days. There is no religious or cultural sanction for any
Hindu group any where in the world for incest or pedophilia. But this is not
to deny that there are individuals who profess to being Hindus who are
involved in incest and paedophillia. But just like other sinners they are
morally weak human beings (if we can call them as such) who need to be
imprisoned till death frees them.
