5. Genesis XIX, 29-38--the text makes it quite clear that Lot was not
responsible for the action committed by his two daughters, as they gave
him wine and made him drunk.
6. Electioneering and all forms of propaganda are against the spirit of
Baha'i elections. The chief opportunity which the friends have for
discussion on administrative questions is during the Nineteen Day Feasts,
at which time the members of the assembly can meet with the body of the
believers and discuss in common the affairs of the Cause, and suggest new
policies and methods. But even then no reference to individuals should be
made.
7. Baha'is are permitted to marry non-believers but they should insist on
observing the Baha'i marriage ceremony and should also not object if their
non-Baha'i partner wishes to observe the marriage ceremony of his or her
particular religion. Civil marriage is generally practised amongst the
Western believers, but in most of the East it is unknown.
