are there any religions that specifically say Thou shalt not eat thy neighbor's wife?
Leviticus 11
1. And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth. 3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you. 5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you. 6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you. 7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you. 8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.
Thy neighbor's wife cheweth not the cud nor doth she split the hoof. She is unclean to you.

Dear AS, if I am allowed to answer, since the "hare" and the "coney" are mentioned in the same terms, coney must be an old term for rabbit. I have to admit the bit about their feet makes no sense to me, nor have I any idea why they were "unclean".

Bite the head of a rabbit? Take a big mouth and very good incisors!

Mr. Ts asks: Bugs Bunny was a cannibal?!
Nope, Bugs Bunny was a can nibble.

I can't quite remember the Irish word for rabbit, but it sounds something like 'caneen', which sounds kinda like 'coney'

Bit of trivia about pet hares. Their incisors grow continuously, upper ones wearing lower ones down. If something goes wrong with occlusion of incisors, they grow so long hare cannot eat properly. I have seen one with incisors over four inches long, lower ones almost touching skull above eyes. Another bit of trivia. Rabbits' hind legs are much shorter than those of hares. Almost all pets are hares. And on subject of revolting diets, rabbits and hares have to eat their own droppings periodically, to maintain instestinal flora capable of digesting cellulose.
