Yes. Which is a shame, because since this show was supposed to be a family show (though I doubt it in regard to season four and five and all the misery and suffering) they should have taken more responsibility in showing dignity and ethics to the younger audiences. I've figured that a lot of fans never even considered this to be a problem either for Gwen and/or Uther. They just accepted it the way it was demonstrated, but in my opinion, it would have been a  much better lesson in tact and dignity if the show had succeeded to point out that there are some lines that shouldn't be overstepped in order to save the people's dignity and to still see them as human beings with personal rights (as fictional characters that actually are a mirror of real life sociecty).
