"Gandhi gave up sexual intercourse at the age of 36 and became totally celibate while still married, a course deeply influenced by the Hindu idea of brahmacharya, or spiritual and practical purity, largely associated with celibacy." ~wikipedia "Gandhi, even when well into his seventies slept with his teenage grand-nieces presumably to test his ability to resist temptation." ~unknown source "...grand-nieces... These two girls looked after his personal comforts and needs such as serving him food at the right time, brushing his dentures, giving him a massage, helping in his bath, shaving, etc. ~Hinduism Today That is all very OK with me, and I'm sure those girls felt loved very much and did not feel being used as instruments to prove someone's chastity. Luckily nowadays we don't have to prove our integrity in any such manner. Wim PS. It is impossible to compare anyone's value to anyone else.
