Se estudian y se comparan varias leyes sagradas que consideraban impuras las
relaciones sexuales, en particular para la mujer, quien, además, por su sola condición de
madre, era considerada más impura que el hombre. La mujer que menstrua, que está
embarazada, que pare o acaba de ser madre adquiere, por tales razones, la etiqueta
religiosa de “impura”, tanto en las leyes hebraicas (Levítico 12 y 15) como en
numerosas Leyes Sagradas griegas, relativas a distintos dioses, templos o ciudades.In this paper we offer a study and comparison between some old religious laws
which reknowned sexual interrelation as something unclean. Woman, in addition to this
and by the simple fact of being mother, was considered uncleaner than man.
Menstruation, pregnancy, delivery and the state post partum make woman impure
according to Hebrew laws (Leviticus 12 and 15) as well as to many other Greek Sacred
Laws and rules concerning different gods, temples and cities
