Dodgy ground I think - female circumcision, ethnic cleansing, torturing people in prison, keeping slaves, certain interpretations of jihad; all candidates for being morally indefensible yet not thought to be wrong in/by the societies in which they are practiced. Would agree if you were saying that what is illegal is what the society you live in says is illegal - but that's a different thing - not all illegal things are morally wrong, and not all morally wrong things are illegal.
