Bahá'í teachings on sexual morality
centre on marriage and the family as the bedrock of the whole structure of
human society and are designed to protect and strengthen that divine
institution. Thus Bahá'í law restricts permissible sexual intercourse to that
between a man and the woman to whom he is married.
(From a letter dated 14
March 1973 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual
believer)
