Often times the violator of the taboo is considered unfit to live in that society.

Detailed explanation-3: -Folkways are informal rules and norms that, while not offensive to violate, are expected to be followed. Mores (pronounced more-rays) are also informal rules that are not written, but, when broken, result in severe punishments and social sanction upon the individuals. Mores are often seen as taboos.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mores are moral norms. If you break them, you would be seen as not just in poor taste, but immoral. They’re often linked to religious rules. Taboos are ‘negative norms’ – things that people find offensive and socially inappropriate if you are caught doing them.
