Strangest/Funniest Laws around the world!
 
I know there is some random, silly and weird laws across the world. What is the funniest/stangest one you have heard of?


In England, eating mice pies on Christmas Day is illegal.
Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas pudding, mince pies and anything to do with gluttony. That law has never been rescinded so mince pies are illegal.

Oh I like this one! :

In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. (The husband’s lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. COOL)

In Willowdale, Oregon, while engaging in sexual intercourse with a woman, it is illegal for a man to curse.

In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (I shudder at the thought. How many of us would be virgins today?)
