Dad lets daughter die, rather than be touched by 'strange' rescuer

Bingo.  And before the crazies get all up in arms, culture does not equal the people of that culture.  The belief set needs to go, the people are welcome to get with the program.

Yep, and what better way to get the culture to go but not the people? By condemning it! That's the only way those people might start to think differently. If you just accept them doing that then stuff like this will just keep happening and even get worse.

Exactly, what was ok behavior a thousand years ago, is not ok now.  Society evolves, so does the morale landscape. 

Eh, it'll recycle itself anyway. Pushing your values won't stop society thinking your views are backwards in a few hundred years either. What the dad did could be completely justified if it'd happen 100yrs from now assuming that sort of mentality reaches westward. I wouldn't say societyevolves as much as it does just fall in and out of favor with given morales
