Good point, however I also suspect there is harm being done in the teaching, that helps perpetuate this abusive situation.
Regarding rights being trampeled, I would counter that the inherent right of these Potentates to maintain their preditory harems, would be a legitimatized only by virtue of admitting there is a right of these minors to be abused.
