The answer is Yes, no and no. Jesus was very clear that he especially disapproved of lusting after women who were married or betrothed.

Nina Agdal is unmarried nor scheduled to be married, nor is she believed to be dating. So for a man to admire her beauty, even on the very scant hope that someday he might become her suitor, would be acceptable. Though not if he was a real creeper about it, that is, if he was so driven by lust that he acted in a beastly manner.

The other two are married, so are off limits.

About the only argument Jesus had with Jewish law on the subject was that he had a much stricter view of divorce, especially casual divorce just to get new partners.

What a sick mind. .....Men and women don’t look at and admire people of the opposite sex, whether in person or in film or print media, with the “hope” of becoming that person’s suitor. Their admiration of a person of the opposite sex does not indicate a ‘lusting’, as you put it, but just an appreciation of the beauty/handsomeness of someone.

I become more disappointed everytime I click on a FR headline and surprisingly find myself on the Religion forum, where so many comments displaying such bias explains why I opted out of organized religion at age 14; 57 years ago. I prefer my own beliefs in God to brainwashing.
