 More than a dozen consecutive articles describe what are known to be permitted and prohibited sexual pairings.These pairings mostly describe men (sometimes specifically referred to as free men, sometimes just men in general) having relations, be they consensual or not, with animals, step-family, relatives of spouses, or concubines.Many of these articles do not provide specific punishments but, prior to the law reforms, crimes against religion were most often punishable by death.
