What is the Sri Lankan, India, or Arabic equivalent of acessory. using
time or nationally specific laws to demonstrate a moral code -- let
alone claiming it as absolute is problematic. Laws against sodomozing
children are quite new, for example. Given the length of human history
and the legality of such behaviour, we can say that this was moral for a
heck of a lot longer than it has been consider illegal/immoral.

the state chopping off someone's hand is wrong and immoral -- here. This
practice though has been legal and right for sometime at various
locations in the world throughout history.
