I not only mean it as in 'french-kissing your partner', but also things like 'kissing someone's hand out of reverence' and 'kissing the kids good night'.

In India, it's a huge taboo to kiss anyone whom you're not married to. Public affection in general is mostly frowned upon there, and sometimes charged as a crime depending on where you live.

That's why you never see lovers kiss in Bollywood movies. They always just hug or hold each other at arms length. They would be outraged if two actors who aren't married to each other kissed on screen.
