Indecent exposure
public indecency involving nudity of some sort / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indecent exposure is a term that is used that describes the act of a person deliberately showing parts of their body in a way that is not considered good behavior by local standards, called decency.
These standards vary around the world. These rules are often affected by religion, morality, or tradition They can be justified as "necessary to maintain public order".[1] Non-sexual exhibitionism, or public nudity, is sometimes said to be indecent exposure. If sexual acts are performed, or hinted at, it is very often considered to be indecent exposure. For this, there sometimes is a case of gross indecency. This term is usually used for a more serious offence.
Many communities have ideas of what parts of the body should be overed in public. Not covering these parts may be seen as indecent exposure. For example. in many Muslim countries, a woman not wearing a veil may be seen as indecent. She may be seen as not being modest.
While a woman exposing her breast seen as indecent in many countries but they are often allowed to breastfeed their children in public without punishment.
