So if you are in a country where they are about to burn alive a former wife because they want a new model, then that's good, because the majority consent to it, and have made it their rule or morality?
First, I should have said, 'a country where a man is about to burn alive a former wife because he wants a new model'.
Second, in my opinion the best person to decide whether this is right or wrong is the former wife, because she will be the person most affected by the decision.
Third, what would you think of a country where people are stoned to death for working on the sabbath day; is that right because the majority consent to it?
