There it is, right there, the cherry-pick or redirection away from what Bahauallah wrote.To understand the Baha'i POV we need to look at range of Baha'i writings and not just one.
In a Bahai World many aspects of Equality like those that we have begun to enjoy in the UK would be diluted or destroyed, and popular opinion (prejudice) would be aimed at those couples who would dare to reverse gender roles.
We will see later in this post just how many 'protected characteristics' would be shaken by words that would lead to bigotry in certain cases.
And this is the veil to hide what could becopme the law.It needs to be emphasised that each couple with children makes decisions about how best to approach the balance of care of children and meeting the families financial needs.
Let us see what is meant by true Equality here in the UK, and paralleled throughouit the entire European block:-
Equality Act 2010:
...............the headings of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy and maternity are now to be known as 'protected characteristics'.
From the above list of Freedoms, two are not covered, and five are frownred upon by the Bahai tenets. Whatever else we do, we are not going back to the oppressive stigmas and dogmas that would impact on the protected characteristics.
