some very strange laws....... Most Middle Eastern countries recognize the following Islamic law: "After having sexual relations with a lamb, it is a mortal sin to eat its flesh." (Umm OK, I'm sure the lamb appreciates that one) 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. (OK, like THAT makes sense... ) 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. (Ouch!) Muslims 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 piece of wood at all times. (...a brick?) There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Now let's just think for a minute..is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?) 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.) Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (Of course!) 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?) In Santa Cruz, Bolivia it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman & her daughter at the same time. (...We have to presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law...) In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." (is this a great country or what?)
come on!!!! in england 1)Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked manequin. 2)It is illegal to stand within one hundred yards of the reigning monarch when not wearing socks (enacted by Edward VI) 3)A bed may not be hung out of a window. (thats self explanitory ) in saudi arabia 1)women are not allowed to drive cars 2) it is illegal to kiss a stranger in scotland 1) it is illegal to be intoxicated and in possesion of a cow 2)under no circumstances can you fish on a sunday in singapore 1)As it is considered pornographic, you may not walk around your home nude. mad
Re: some very strange laws....... I know I should know this being a prospective doctor but whats a prophylactic? In this country pregnant women are allowed to request a policemans hat to pee in if their caught short!
I like this one! Alabama - Women are able to retain all property they owned prior to marriage in the case of divorce. However, this provision does not apply to men.
