Paederasty

Bahá'u'lláh shrinks for shame at even treating the subject[edit]

"We shrink, for very shame, from treating of the subject of boys. Fear ye the Merciful, O peoples of the world! Commit not that which is forbidden you in Our Holy Tablet, and be not of those who rove distractedly in the wilderness of their desires."

(Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, par. 107)

"The word translated here as "boys" has, in this context, in the Arabic original, the implication of paederasty."

(Notes to the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, no. 134)
