1 Corinthians Ch3:16-17Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
The Bible does not literally say that the Holy Ghost will not dwell in an unclean temple. But the Bible does say that if we are saved that our bodies are the temple of God and if that is so then the Holy Ghost is dwelling in you. If you have not asked God to come into your heart, you are a sinner and your body is not the Temple of God. The only way that your body an be the temple of God is to ask Him to live in your heart and soul.
So in short I believe the scriptures IS saying that the Holy Ghost can not dwell in an unclean temple.
Leviticus 12-15
Yes, many religious beliefs hold that God can dwell within an unclean temple but it is ideal for the temple to be clean and pure to ensure a closer connection to the divine. The concept of purity and cleanliness is often associated with spiritual practices to create a conducive environment for spiritual growth and connection.
The Holy Spirit is sometimes described as a still, small voice. If we are constantly bombarded by the "noise" of life, we can miss it's message to us.We can put ourselves in situations where the spirit can not dwell with us. The spirit is holy, and no unclean thing can dwell in holiness. If we continue purposefully in sin, with no intent to repent or improve, the spirit can leave indefinitely.

At the end of Act I Scene 2 of The Tempest, Miranda has met the shipwrecked Ferdinand, and is much impressed. Prospero, however, voices his suspicion that Ferdinand might be a treacherous spy. Ferdinand denies it and Miranda weighs in with There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: If the ill spirit have so fair a house, Good things will strive to dwell with't. "Temple" here means a container. A temple is a building to house a god; a person's body houses his or her spirit. Thus a person's body is the temple of his spirit. This is the metaphor that Miranda uses. She says that such a good-looking man could not have an evil spirit, as Prospero accuses Ferdinand of having, because a fair exterior will attract a good spirit. If Miranda had known more than two men previously (she appears to count Caliban as a man) she might not have jumped so quickly to this dangerous conclusion.

This word has several meanings. To dwell means to live. "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" (from the Bible). We dwell in that apartment complex. To dwell also means to worry over something, to be unable to stop thinking about it. Don't dwell on your troubles so much or you will be miserable! I tend to dwell on things when I make a mistake.
