30. I'm curious why you drew the line in the sand at 200 years.
The OP's question seemed firmly rooted in the present. Aside from that, I'm unfamiliar with Buddhist teachings which prohibit extra-faith marriage. Likewise for Taoism. Religions are far too diverse and fractured in this day and age to make many generalizations about them. It seems moot to discuss what their teachings were 100s or 1000s of years ago when its the modern denominational rules affecting the faithful.

And no, you didn't offend me I just found your assertion flawed.
