Purity laws are regulations found in various religious and cultural traditions that dictate what is considered clean or unclean. These laws often govern dietary practices, personal hygiene, and social interactions, aiming to maintain spiritual or physical purity. For example, in Judaism, the Kashrut laws outline which foods are permissible and how they should be prepared. In addition to dietary restrictions, purity laws can also influence rituals and community participation. In Hinduism, certain practices, such as bathing in sacred rivers, are believed to purify the body and soul. Overall, these laws reflect the values and beliefs of a community regarding cleanliness and morality.
