I would say that if a "human right" is worthy of the name, then it is
something which all human beings should have by nature, for the entire
history of humanity. It's not something which depends on technology.

I would suggest to you that even in the year 2005 there are places in
the developing world where for one reason or another there is a
shortage men and the government doesn't adequately provide for the
needs of poor women and children and that a reasonable way to arrange
society is for men who are wealthy enough to take multiple wives.

Why is slavery wrong? I thought Shoghi Effendi said something about
slavery violating human dignity. But if that's the case then slavery
has ALWAYS been wrong. No?
