Top 10 Weirdest Laws in the World

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

So... women can only have sex if the mother watches? What if the sex is with the mother? Or it's a gay relationship with two men?

I mean, I'm religious and believe you should only have sex with your spouse, but don't you think the mom should stay out of it?

I wouldn't want my mom to see me having sex, and she wouldn't want to watch! That's so uncomfortable!

In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation

But don't you do it alone anyway? How would you get caught? Just imagine how embarrassing it would be if you did get caught. "You are sentenced to death for playing with your genitals!"

I would think that they would cut something else off...

I would have been dead a long time ago... Yes, I will admit it. But come on, who hasn't?

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death

Hi honey, did you have a daily sheep today? Glad I am not a female and don't live there!

Why are the top ones always about sex? Sorry, just my opinion.

In Liverpool, England, topless saleswomen are legal, but only in tropical fish stores

Well, there's something I've never witnessed on a trip across the river...

I feel jealous of the fisher-salesmen.

In Iceland, it is illegal to own a dog

Illegal to own a dog?! That is literally the most stupid law in the world. What happens to dogs bred in Iceland? Seriously, would they arrest you for breeding them?!

That is why Icelanders grow up lonely and untrained for the wilderness. I think this is bull. That's why Iceland was not supposed to be a country. Iceland sucks, boy!

Is it like owning a rhino or something? That seems extreme!

In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive a car in public

This is so dumb. So, in Saudi Arabia, women are just a sex machine? This is awful...

Really? They can't drive in public? Sexist as hell Saudi Arabia is! And I'm a guy!

What's wrong with women drivers? Gender equity should be universal!

In Grand Haven, Michigan, it is illegal to kiss your wife on Sundays

How would they know if you kissed your wife?

In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is forbidden from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror

I'm Muslim too, but in my country, we never practice this!

It really does not make a difference.

In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands

So if she shanks him, she goes to prison, but if she strangles him, nobody cares?

In Singapore, chewing gum is banned

Even though Singapore sounds like the coolest place, it sucks that you can't chew gum. I guess that's one of the many reasons it's so clean.

Is it like the equivalent of smoking pot?

That sounds stupid. If I was in Singapore, I would be spending my life in jail.

In California, you can't ride a bike in a swimming pool

It's apparently a real law here in California.

In Morocco, if your friend is caught doing drugs you have to face the same penalty

I'm just imagining someone getting arrested for something an old friend they haven't seen in years has done.

In Swaziland, teenage girls were forbidden to have sex for five years to prevent AIDS

In France, people who do not own a burial plot will not be buried when they die

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time

How is anyone supposed to know if they are having sex, and how would you do that at the same time anyway? What would be wrong with that person, but how is that a law?

This is just weird. Who the hell is going to make love to a woman and her daughter?

In England, it is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament

What are they going to do, arrest you after you are dead? How does that make any sense? You cannot help it when you die. I always thought English people were weird. This law helps prove I'm right. That is too stupid!

It's actually because it falls under the jurisdiction of the coroner of the Queen's household.

Laugh out loud! What are they going to do? Take a dead guy to court?

In Samoa, forgetting your wife's birthday is a punishable crime

In Muslim tradition, individuals are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or a piece of wood at all times

So does that mean that if a Muslim visits a history museum, they will get arrested just for looking at the penis of a mummy?

If you like it, then you better put a brick on it? Don't they have sacred cloth or something?

Wouldn't it be more practical to use a towel or paper rather than a brick?

In Brazil, men are allowed to return non-virgin brides

In Canada, carpooling is not allowed if you live there

In North Carolina, it is illegal to sing off key

How is this illegal in that state? I'm pretty sure some people can't sing on key for an entire song lasting 3-5 minutes.

Although autotune sucks, this is just insane. Real voices are never on key all the time. There are occasional errors.

If this is true, then I am lucky to be alive.

In New York, it is illegal to throw salmon at mailmen

Don't we give our local mailman enough pain and misery?

Who the heck made these rules?

In most Middle Eastern countries, after having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh

In Finland, traffic fines are calculated as a percentage of the offender's income

And how exactly is that a weird law? Logically, it makes sense that someone earning 100 times as much as the average person has to pay a lot more to make them care about the fine.

In the USA and England, you can't pee in public

Uhh... I think this law is understandable for big cities and such, but in the countryside, I think it's just a useless ban.

I think it means, like, peeing in a town square or on a public, traffic-filled road.

In Alabama, it is illegal to sell sex toys

But if you live there, can you go to the next state, buy one, and bring it back with you? They say it's illegal to sell, not to own.

In the Netherlands, you are allowed to smoke cannabis but not tobacco in public places

This is not true. You cannot smoke tobacco in public places, and you also cannot smoke cannabis in public places. By public places, I mean hotels, restaurants, bus and train stations, clubs, bars, etc.
However, in most clubs and bars, you can smoke cannabis, even though there is a law against smoking tobacco indoors. In restaurants, shops, and hotels, you still can't smoke. In coffeeshops (the ones that sell cannabis, not coffee), you are allowed to smoke cannabis.

Say what?! This must be wrong, surely? Are little kids getting high on dope fumes?
