The laws on adultery in Aqdas and their relevant punishments are for non-married people only. Punishment for adultery between married people perhaps is so high that even Baha'u'llah did not specify it, or perhaps left if for the Universal House of Justice to decide, or maybe by His silence, He left it to our own imagination to realize its unimaginable gravity. If non-married people through it will retard progress of the soul in the next world then what higher punishment could it cause when those committed it are married?!
Max. If not, why does one |have to pay |more for this offense? Why does one have to pay much less for |a single |instance of adultery than for intercourse with one's partner |during the year |of patience? | __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.net/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
