I said "If the local government agrees". This implies that the people of the area have also agreed... including the women of the area.
Please keep an open mind. Some cultures do things that you would think are 100 times more "horrific" than what I proposed. Try to understand that female mutilation is "normal" in some parts of the world. That selling 12 year old daughters to the "entertainment" industry is "normal". That eating other humans is "normal". That men killing women because they show their face in public is "normal". That men "force" women to have 10 children and keep 3-4 wives is "normal"... and most of all that these other cultures view American values as "crazy" and "silly" and "unbelievable". What? You mean you don't have 3 wives? What? You mean you don't feed your newborns goat blood? What? You mean you let women show their skin? What? You mean that you do not speep with 10 other women besides your 3 wives? What? You mean that you do not offer your wife as a present to a visiting guest so they can sleep with her? What? You don't kill people for sleeping together outside of wedlock? What? you don't make your 5 year old kids work in the mines and bring all the money home to you?
If you really consider what happens in other cultures around the world then you will notice our values and thinking and perspectives as Americans is completely different. So we cannot say what is and is not "crazy" or unacceptable for another area.
