Marital rape used to be legal in many western countries and still is in many places in the world.
Slavery is still legal for felons in many countries, including the US.
Torture is still legal in many places under certain circumstances, like someone being convinced of a major felony. The same goes for the death penalty.
Many intersex babies have their genitals butchered and their reproductive organs removed shortly after birth so they fit the sex binary. It's legal in the majority of the world.
Many young girls and boys, including babies, have their genitals butchered for religious or cultural reasons. FGM and circumcisions for babies and young kids are perfectly legal in many parts of the world.
(Not saying an intersex person can't be a boy or a girl. But intersex and perisex babies do get their genitals mutilated differently).
Sex work is often treated legally identical or very similar to sexual slavery.
Many people are forced into marriage according to the letter of the law.
Never accept the idea that lawful means moral or ethical.
