Abstract

The article focusses the discourse and debate of two generations of jurists on the polemic meanings of virginity, seduction, hounor and honesty. As a consequence, it is shown how the judiciary, mainly by means of the criminal codes, used to find a way for warranting continuing intervention into the domain of morality.
