The truth of this matter is based on the fact that morality is only applicable to the person in one society and in a determined time, given that moral will change depending on the population you are talking about and the period in time you are referring to. Having said that, law should reflect morality as long as this morality is secularized and is not contrary to hard facts or logical reason, therefore the only moment in which a law should not reflect moral is when both moral and the benefit of the people are clashing.
well that's really a question of morals he-he,well what i really mean is how extreme the local government feels about its own morals. and really laws originated from religions. but the first written laws was the code of Hammurabi which was an eye for an eye which if you don't know what that means its the golden rule treat others the way you want to be treated

A minimal requirement for morality.
Law is based on natural law, which is based on morals.
Morality is a code of your personal beliefs. Your beliefs and mine may be different. Criminal law is directed at enforcement of law and not beliefs.
Yes, law and morality can diverge. While laws are created and enforced by governing bodies, morality is based on personal beliefs and principles. There are times when an action may be legally permissible but morally questionable, or vice versa.
International Law is not a real Law, but a positive International Morality.
Decisions based on morality but not necessarily law.
