        If you wish to educate a person, with the intent of changing their morals - you need to start with his/her grandmother.

        However we regulate: murder, rape and stealing and some oppression, so where is the limit of regulating morals thru law -

        We regulate behavior, not individual moral outlook.

        1/ Actually that's philosophically incorrect, law is the best way to enforce moral code in large societies.

        Law enforces behavior: moral outlook follows, in time.

        2/ As societies grows, more laws are required to control anti-social elements. Morals come first from small group social equalization.

        Yes, some...but rules can be shaped by pragmatists who care about workability, more than 'morality.'

        What are morals? And to whom? It's perfectly moral for a Saudi to marry a 10 years old girl, but its not acceptable here, different values!

        First of all, it is necessary to choose the definition of value if not laws are made for non-value

        We try to diminish behaviors that harm the individual and society and encourage behaviors that makes us flourish, thats the purpose of laws.
