I was listening to the radio on my way to work and I heard about this strange case of love. There was this guy who had a live in partner who had a baby girl. The baby girl was the woman's baby from another guy. Unfortunately, the woman left the guy for another man and the guy was left with the woman's baby girl. The guy raised the baby girl as his own. When the girl was of right age, the guy told the girl the truth, that she is not his own daughter. The girl got furious and she got rebellious. After some time the girl's anger subsided and she then acted strange according to the guy. What happened next was a shock to me.. something happened between them! I was severely disgusted when I heard that line. Their legal consultant said that there's was nothing wrong with it legally. But he also said that it was morally incorrect.
What do you guys think?

I'm still learning about the intricacies of couples and marital therapy so I'm not sure I could get you a professional point of view on this one. Personally though, the legal consultant was correct in saying that there was no legal problem in it: the girl is not his daughter and they both know this fact. This might be also referring to the girl's age, meaning she should be of age to consent to such a relationship. (It's a different matter though if the girl is a minor.) Morally, it's also debatable: why should you go between the relationship of two consenting adults? Of course, the facts are sketchy as of this point so I may be wrong in these assumptions.

Well, if you put it in a "moral" perspective, I'd say it is incorrect because we are talking about morality. According to the dictionary, the word "moral" means "one concerning what is right or prudent, that can be derived from a story, a piece of information, or an experience." So, "morally", what they did was incorrect.

What's "right" is derived from years and years of studies and debates and the conclusion of the ruling majority. Let's put it this way, let's say there are no morals, no laws, no rules whatsoever, and cannibalism is rampant. Would you agree that it's only "right" for someone in your tribe or clan to eat your mother or father or wife or child or someone who's most dear to you just because he's hungry?

Sorry to say but what's "right" and what's "prudent" varies according to different cultures. Can we tell cannibals situated in some Pacific Island that it's not moral to eat human beings? That's the reason why this is still debatable. Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinions.

Yes, the lawyer is correct, there's nothing legally wrong with it. But the fact that the man raised her up as her daughter and later have intimate relationship with her when she can't resist the girl's strange act with him, seemed to me, as an incest. It's really disgusting to me.
The man should have resisted the girl and corrected their acts.

That is how a real father should act towards her daughter. How very touching!

The story that you heard from the radio was strange indeed. It is morally incorrect because the guy raised the girl as his own daughter, but the catch is they are not related by blood so "it" can happen to them. This is not the first time I have read online, in fact I have read a lot and heard a lot of real-life stories similar to this.

I guess the moral of this is to always practice restraint. We should always keep the faith and pray to God so that we will have the strength to overcome our weakness. This is a sign of weakness and we should overcome it.

I understand that they have sinned morally but when the facts are in place, it is apparent that they can do as they wish as they are not connected by blood, that makes me think made them do the terrible act. Women these days get impregnated with no difficulty. The reason is nothing restrains them.

The sad part is, the person who is supposed to guide her and protect her is the same person who impregnated her. It's no different from those who are related by blood. His will should have been strong and he should have fought the urge. He should have known better.

Exactly my sentiments. But then, we can't just simply judge the guy. He just gave in to his weakness and it's natural for man to sin. The sad part is, this sin is something that will scar them for life.

i agree. legally there is nothing wrong because they are not related by blood but morally it is wrong because basing from their original relationship, they look like father and daughter. I could not and not want to imagine it myself. what happened to them after that?

The girl went away with another guy along with their baby. He's planning to marry the girl to atone for his sin and that's it. I guess the issue is still ongoing.

Sometimes strange things happen in real life. We are not the master of circumstances we are in but with our faith in God, we can resist any temptations. I think the guy concern lacks faith to resists temptation and now must pay for its consequences. If he really love the girl as his own daughter, I think it is best to leave and be separated from her forever.

Yep, exactly the same sentiments as mine and the programs'. The guy should leave the girl alone forever and not cover their mistake with another one by marrying her. The only problem is their child would never know his true father's identity.
