The second moral value is that the marital relationship which is conducted outside a legitimate marriage will not only spoil and closed his future but also afflict his children with the various conflicts and pressures of the environment. The third moral value is that belief in superstition will preoccupy the attention, energy, and mind. In fact, a lot of things and a lot of innocent parties will be considered negative.
