Were all people in the area forbidden to have sex during this period?Yes Were all who had children 9 months later in trouble?Yes Is a religious belief relevant?Yes A superstition? Vanity? Modesty? Respect? Coronation of: king?Yes Queen? Emperor? I think you've just about got it. *SPOILER ALERT* Bob's parents lived in Swaziland.After the death of the king,there is a 90-day period of mourning where sex is prohibited as a mark of respect.It is punishable by a beating.Therefore when Bob arrived on time and healthy,it would be obvious from the length of pregnancy that he had been conceived within the forbidden time. Bob's very presence provided incontrovertible evidence of their wrongdoing and got them into trouble Thankyou all for joining in-hope you enjoyed it! |
