Although the Baha’is have introduced their creed as heavenly, but in fact they have stood against the divine religions and have posed affairs which are against the teachings of the heavenly religions. One of the issues paid attention by people in the Baha’ism creed is getting married with the intimates (https://farsi.al.shia.prg).
In the most important book of the Baha’is called Agdas, Hussein Ali Nouri has said about the illegitimacy in getting married of the Baha’is:
“قد حرمت علیکم ازواج آبائکم…”
“It became illegitimate for you to get married with your father’s wife.” (The book Aqdas, paragraph 107, p. 103) and he hasn’t issued any verdict concerning other intimates.
After Baha’s death, Abdul Baha his successor was just allowed to explain about the verdicts and wasn’t allowed to interpret them. Shoqi Effendi, his successor didn’t have circumstances better than his grandfather. After his secret death in London, the Baha’is conditions disarranged terribly and a confusion was observed among Baha’is. Following it, some known Baha’is turned against the cult and turned to Islam.
In such conditions, the universal house of justice helped the defective commandments of Baha’ism and considered issuing verdict for itself when there isn’t any text containing verdict. So, the Baha’is universal house of justice can appoint verdicts forgotten to be mentioned. (http://farsi.al-shia.org).
One of the commandments forgotten by Bahaullah to be mentioned is the issue of getting married with the intimates or it has been ashamed to mention it like pederasty verdict:
“انا نستحیی ان نذکر حکم الغلمان”
(The book Aqdas, paragraph 107, p. 103)
Concerning getting married with the intimates, the universal house of justice has let the Baha’is to decide about it. (http://www.erfan.ir/farsi/90014.html)
Consequently; according to the Aqdas text, getting married with the intimates has been common among the Baha’is and no Baha’i text has issued a commandment considering it as illegitimate except for getting married with father’s wife.
