I introduced Switzerland 20 weird laws last
time. In Asia, also they have strange or unfair law, for example, China banned
Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission.
According to a statement issued by the State Administration of Religious
Affairs in 2007.
The 9 strangest laws you will take care of
when traveling in the world
1. Margarine is illegal in Missouri, USA.
Did you know that if you buy yellow
margarine in Missouri you are committing a crime? A state law banned the sale
of margarine since the 19th century, the latest amendment to the law was made
in 1939. Although the state no longer imposes them, sanctions can be up to one
month in jail and a fine of $ 100 for offenders First and six months in prison
and a fine of $ 500 for repeat offenders.
2. It is illegal to die in the Parliament
of England
If you are dying wandering around the royal
palace ... you are violating a law that forbids you to die inside the Parliament,
this according to beliefs that if you will end up dying inside, technically you
have the right to a state funeral. Faced with this, a House spokesman said that
"there is no basis for this law" Maybe, old people who have disease
should not visit the Parliament in UK.
3. Men in Brazil can annual marriage if
girlfriend was not a virgin
Can you believe it? Brazil, a country
famous for its carnivals where women display themselves in tiny bikinis, had a
strange law from 1916 to 2002, in which they allowed men to annul their
marriage until ten days after the wedding, if they discovered that their Wife
was not a virgin before marriage. In addition a recent law has banned postcards
in Brazil with women in bikinis.
4. It is illegal to sell sex toys in the
state of Alabama
Justice in Alabama is sexually frustrated,
since in 1998 it enacted a strange law of 'obscenity' in which it forbids the
distribution of 'any device designed or marketed for the stimulation of human
genital organs'. Five minutes of pleasure can cost you a lot, since the law has
strong penalties: up to a year in jail and a fine of $ 10,000 for a first
offense. A second offense carries a term of imprisonment of one to 10 years.
5. In the Netherlands, smoking is allowed
but not tobacco
When I went to Netherlands, I did not know
the law of Netherlands. The bizarre law allows smokers to use the drug, but if
they mix it with tobacco, they are fined. The zero tolerance for tobacco
consumption in Dutch cafes and restaurants came into force in 2008; However it
allows smoking cannabis.
6. Unusual law in Canada prohibits sharing
the car
Carpooling with PickupPal is illegal in
this country. An excerpt from the current law states: 'Guard PickupPal': No
person may arrange or offer to organize the carriage of passengers by means of
a public vehicle operated by another person, unless the other person holds an
operating license Authorize the other person to make the transport. No sharing
economy in Canada?
7. The head of the whale is the property of
the king, and the tail of the Queen in British
The head of any dead whale found on the
British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of
the Queen. This strange law was decreed in 1324.
8. In Finland, traffic fines depend on the
income of the offender
In Finland, traffic fines are calculated
according to the percentage of the offender's income. The most expensive fine
charged in January 2002 was Anssi Vanjoki, 44, director of telecommunications
giant Nokia, who had to pay $ 103,600 for driving his Harley at 47 miles per
hour in an area of 31 miles per hour.
9. In Swiss, adolescents are prohibited
from having sex
On June 28, 2002, King Mswati III of
Swaziland, in an attempt to protect his people from the spread of AIDS and the
return to traditional values, passed a series of edicts. Young women have to
postpone sex for 5 years. According to the Switzerland tradition girls under
the age of 18 should wear blue and yellow fringes to discourage sexual
advances, while older women who are still virgins should wear red and black
tassels.
