Dutch manners

If you have a different language: important subjects in the video are:
1. Many Dutch people no longer go to a church and rules that are often prescribed by the church and adopted by law have been very weakened. For example, abortion is allowed. You can ask your doctor for the rules regarding abortion.
2. Sometimes people have reached an end stage in their lives where they suffer a lot of pain. A doctor can then help to end the life. We then speak of euthanasia.
3. Many people are divorced in the Netherlands. That is fully accepted.
4. Marriage between man and man or woman and woman is officially possible in the Netherlands.
5. You can also live together in the Netherlands without being married. It is possible to make a cohabitation agreement.
6. Unlike some other countries, you are not allowed to hit your partner or children in the Netherlands. We call that domestic violence
7. In the Netherlands, a boy may be circumcised, but circumcision of a girl is strictly prohibited.
8. Sex between an adult and anyone under the age of 16 is prohibited. Sex under duress is prohibited and is considered rape. A ban on not having sex before marriage is seen by most as nonsense.
9. In the Netherlands we see that people live in their home as long as possible. Even if their partner has passed away. This means that many elderly people are lonely.
