Laws are normally created with the best
interest of society, however there are some
that are just unexplainable, illogical, and even
impractical. From laws concerning what food
you may eat and when to laws defining the
clothes a murder may or may not wear,
prepare to be baffled by 17 equally bizarre
laws that hardly make sense
1. In Saudi Arabia, it is illegal for any woman
to drive a car. Right now, it's illegal for them
to vote too. Apparently it will become legal in
2015
2. In Dubai, extramarital sex is against the law
and could result in jail sentences for over a
year. Which means that in rape cases, both the
victim and the perpetrator could end up being
charged with the same crime
3. In Saudi Arabia, there is no minimum age
for marriage. In 2008, a Saudi court refused
an 8-year-old girl, who asked for a divorce
from her 58-year-old husband.
4. In Greece, police are allowed to arrest
anyone suspected of having HIV. Police are
also allowed to force HIV testing, to publicize
the names of HIV-positive people and to have
them evicted from their homes
5. In Thailand it is illegal to step on money
6. In July 2013 a law was passed in China that
states it is illegal for adult children to not visit
their parents "often" in China. They are also
required to attend to their parent's spiritual
needs.
7. In Arkansas there still exists a law that was
instated in the 1800s that states a husband is
allowed to beat his wife, but only once a
month.
8. In Arizona, having more than two vibrators
in your home is illegal. If you own more than
two in your house, you can be subject to
criminal possession
9. In Iowa, it is illegal for a man with a
moustache to kiss a woman in public.
10. In Massachusetts it is deemed illegal for a
woman to be on top during sex and it's also
illegal in for a man and a woman who rent a
room for the night to sleep in the nude.
11. In Utah you can marry your cousin, but
only if you are both over the age of 65.
Because, you know, when you turn 65 you're
known to have impeccable judgment.
12. In parts of India, a man who is in debt can
offer up his wife until the debt is paid.
13. In Hong Kong, there's a law that allows a
wife to kill her husband if she finds him
cheating. However, she must kill him with her
bare hands.
14. In Victoria, Australia, it is illegal to change
a light bulb unless you're a licensed
electrician.
15. In Tennessee it is legal to carry a loaded
firearm into a bar. Umm seems safe.
16. In China, it is a law that a person must be
intelligent to go to college.
17. Apparently, in Switzerland, it is illegal to
flush a toilet after 10pm. Now this one
perplexed me.
