Why aren’t The Duggars allowed to kiss, front hug, or hold hands during dating?

ByStarcasm Staff

The Duggar family definitely live their lives a bit different than most. They not only believe that a family should have as many children as “God allows” them, but they have strict dating rules for their children prior to marriage. Their oldest son Josh has been married to wife Anna for a while, and before they got hitched they did an official Duggar-style courtship. Now his younger sisters are starting to look for mates, and they are adhering strictly to the family’s guidelines about dating, courtships, and engagements. Are only side-hugs allowed?
