20 Really Stupid Laws Around The World ( Photos) by Nobody: 7:29am On Jan 31, 2018 |
I stumbled on something today at world. One of my colleagues was talking about her honeymoon in the US and she mentioned something weird. That "Mouth Action" is illegal in the USA. Knowing the US to be an open country and a wild place, I was shocked so I did some searches and did found it to be true. Even when married, Oral job is often considered sodomy. And Sodomy is illegal, in general, in Idaho, Utah, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. So it got me thinking what are some weird laws that are still in use around the world. Here are the craziest 20 I could find. Enjoy. |

1 In Saudi Arabia, there is no minimum age for marriage. So a 90 year old man can marry a 4 year child and she can't by law refuse after marriage rites have been accepted by the Guardians. In 2008, a Saudi court refused an 8-year-old girl, who asked for a divorce from her 58-year-old husband.

In France, it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon. Apparently this is a slight to the great French general and emperor. For those who don't know him he was a smart French army general who conquered most of Europe. Even Hitler admired him. You would be arrested for this and can do over 2 year in jail. Remains me of the Buhari dog brouhaha then. George Orwell who wroteAnimal Farm would be in prison if he was French. Creator: George Orwell

in Arizona USA, having more than two vibrators, or Love Machine in your home is illegal. If you own more than two in your house, you can be subject to criminal possession. Cucumber is a health fruit, get your mind out of the gutter. But seeing what cassava can do maybe they should ban it too. 1 Like
