But why are our opinions on other people's customs irrelevant Kendall? You might as well say "their country right or wrong" which is no more acceptable to me than the usual phrase. Are we not entitled to challenge customs that we don't like, whether they're the custom in our country or womeone else's?

Another custom among small minorities of Hindus has been the practice of sati, in which women immolate themselves on the funeral pyres of their husbands. (It still happens occasionally.) I regard that as barbaric and would do so even if it was a sacred custom of every religion in the world.
