In some areas of the world it is considered moral.
I think it is immoral to impose your own views of what is acceptable for consenting adults to participate in sexually, others disagree.
I could go on like this for quite some time.
Morality is a movable feast and changes over time, which is why modern morality is superior to the past when religious immovable morality was imposed on all.
In backwards areas of the world we see what religious morality leads to, I am thinking of areas controlled by ISIS and Saudi arabia which resemble the oppression of past Christian theocracies.
These are not examples of two opposing truths about something, but are two opposing views of the what is true. If it is immoral to kill your daughter, then it is, whether you agree or not.
Making morality subjective.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
