Adultery: Its Prevalence and Destructive Effects on Society (Part Two)
Woman in Nations and Religions:
In all nations—civilized or uncivilized—women were subjected to exploitation and injustice. The well-known sociologist Dr. Gustave Le Bon says regarding the oppression of women in other civilizations: “The Greeks generally regarded women as inferior and second-class beings. If a woman gave birth to a deformed or disabled child, she would be killed.”
In Sparta, a woman’s value was based on whether she could give birth to a warrior. If she showed no promise of doing so, she was killed. A woman who bore children could be temporarily “loaned” to others so she might bear children for the benefit of the homeland.
In the Book of Ecclesiastes, it is written: “Whoever loves God should distance himself from women, for out of a thousand men, one may be beloved by God—but out of all the women of the world, not a single one is.”
In Rome, men exercised cruel and absolute control over women. Women had no role in society—not even over their own lives. Their very existence and survival depended on men.
Women in Judaism:
From ancient times, signs of promiscuity and shamelessness were evident in Jewish society—particularly during the time when the Israelites lived in Egypt and were neighbors to Midian and other cities. They lost their divine morals and social codes and indulged in lust with beautiful prostitutes. Many Jews, by royal decree, were expelled from Jerusalem and other major cities, taking refuge in mountains, valleys, caves, and tents. Prostitutes, half-naked and wearing revealing clothing, would visit them, and many travelers committed fornication. Even the exiled Jews would visit these women to satisfy their sexual urges.
Eventually, these same prostitutes (the exiled ones) were allowed to return to Jerusalem. There, they resumed their adulterous activities, which intensified and spread further occurring in all places. Even sacred sites and temples were not spared; these holy places became locations for their shameful acts. This widespread immorality contributed to the downfall and degeneration of the Jewish people.
Some young girls gathered in cabarets and brothels and committed the disgraceful act of adultery. Others took up residence in the homes of aristocrats and wealthy individuals, so they would be available whenever sexual desires arose.
This was the condition of the Jews. What is even more striking is that these same Jews did not consider adultery with non-Jews to be a crime. In fact, they deemed it permissible and even commendable.
Rabbinic authorities such as Bashai, Levi, and Gerson agreed that if a Jewish man has intercourse with a Christian woman, he has not committed an unlawful or adulterous act. Maimonides also stated that it is permissible for Jews to seize and take non-believing (non-Jewish) women.
Even Rabbi Tam, who lived in 13th-century France, believed that adultery with non-Jews (men or women) carried no punishment, because non-Jews, he claimed, are descendants of animals.
According to the content of the corrupted Torah, all the wealth of the world belongs to the Jews and has been wrongfully taken from them. Thus, they believe it is obligatory to reclaim this wealth by any means necessary—even if it involves using women and girls for immoral purposes. Because of this, Jewish communities began sending young Jewish women to the centers of vice and prostitution throughout Europe and America. Gambling halls, cabarets, and nightclubs owned by Jews became filled with Jewish prostitutes.
In 1930, one Jewish figure reportedly sent 3,000 young women to brothels. Their income from Germany alone amounted to seven million marks. The city of Munich was the main hub for sending Israeli girls to other parts of Europe. Moreover, Jewish girls were used to extract information and secrets from diplomats of other countries visiting Israel. These guests were entertained by Jewish women.
In Israel today, sexual relations take place freely without marriage or even formal divorce. Girls wearing indecent and revealing clothing walk the streets and stay in hotels.
The magazine Holim Hozieh writes: “There are few peacekeeping soldiers or Jewish officers who do not have a Jewish mistress. These women are showered with gifts purchased from Arab countries. In return, they pass on valuable information gathered from those same countries.”
In the Book of Deuteronomy, chapter 25, verses 5–10, it is stated that if a man dies without children, his wife is not allowed to marry someone else. Instead, the deceased man’s brother must sleep with her, and any child born of this union will be named after the deceased, so that his name is not erased from Israel. Neither the woman, nor the man, nor his brother can refuse this command.
The Jewish scriptures also say that a woman is more bitter than death. Ancient Jews considered women impure and would confine them indoors. If a woman touched food, clothing, dishes, or animals, they would consider them defiled. Women were blamed for all the sins of men. They would say: “Because women exist, men commit sin and disobedience.”
Women were regarded as a curse, because they believed it was a woman who deceived Adam. The Torah describes a woman as “more bitter than death.” In the Book of Ecclesiastes, it is written: “So I turned my thoughts to understanding and wisdom, and to explore the folly and madness of the world. I found that the woman is more bitter than death. She is like a trap—her heart is a snare and her hands are chains.”
