It seems quite antiquated, but the US had similar laws as late as 2003.

They have their laws. You have yours; please dont try to impose your customs and beliefs on other people.
Well you should examine more deeply your concept of "respect", "right" and "wrong".
America for instance punishes bigamy; when I am in America I respect the law. The vast majority of people in other parts of the world frown upon homosexuality and lesbianism. Don't try to bully a path to my accepting your point of view. I am not making a moral judgement in my argument; what I am simply saying is that Western standards of morality are not the world's standards. Respect other people
These issues have been extensively discussed on other fora. No need to revisit them here. I come to HN for tech discussions.
I do believe in respecting the customs of other cultures - until they are oppressive and punish people for absolutely no good reason.
How far does that go - was it wrong to oppose apartheid in South Africa or slavery in the US?
