Niece and uniqueness
Rabbi Avraham, I was wondering about the halacha that prohibits me from having sex with my niece.. What do you think about this? Do you think the halacha should change? Today it sounds crazy that I would think sexually about my niece, especially when she is young! Does it depend on certain circumstances? What should I do when I need to look after my niece who is over 3 years old?
I think there is room for simplification because today this tendency is not present.
At any age?
And what about the rule that the law of nullifying taste (assuming nullifying taste, reading newspapers is a bit suspicious about this)
is not nullifying (lest we say that there is harm in this, apparently there is no greater harm here than inconvenience)?
And as for the original question, there seems to be a simple solution in leaving the door a little open.
For most opinions, uniqueness is from the Torah and not a rule. And in the poskim you will find quite a few considerations when uniqueness is appropriate or not appropriate according to the desires and circumstances.
Indeed, all my words were only on the assumption that the situation requires uniqueness. If it is possible to leave the door open, no question arises.
