gentiles - Are forbidden relations forbidden to the passive non-jew?


(Rambam sefaria, HebrewBooks, Chabad.org)
A non-jewish man cannot have relations with:




  1. (a woman who was) his father's wife

  2. his mother

  3. a (another) man's wife

  4. his maternal sister

  5. a man

  6. an animal


Does this include the passive non-jewish party?
Is the woman in these cases (1-4, 6) also subjected to death?
How about the passive man (by case number 5)?




Answer




  1. Both are liable if they are consenting adults.

  2. The same prohibitions regarding to man also applies to woman . The reason is that all these references are derived from a verse which the talmud Sanhedrin 57b interprets as referring to both, man and woman.
