The law is strong, but it's law! True, sometimes the power of those in power "brings", and awkward and even funny prohibitions and restrictions are born.

Today we have prepared for you ranking of the most ridiculous laws from all over the world. Having studied some pearls, you will involuntarily think about the fact that our legislators have not thought of much yet. “Lawmakers” from the USA and Great Britain are more strange than others, although other countries have also been noted in our ranking.

15. Great Britain

A pregnant woman has the right to relieve need anywhere, it is not forbidden even to use a helmet of a policeman for this purpose.

14. USA, Florida

The law forbids married ladies from parachuting on Sundays. For married men, the ban does not apply.

13. Canada

12. USA, Ohio

The law forbids women to undress in front of the image of the husband, for example, in front of his photograph. The law does not prohibit undressing in front of images of other men.

It is forbidden to enter into intimate relations with a virgin. Moreover, the rule applies to the legal spouse. Apparently, on the wedding night, the newlyweds should leave the state.

10. USA, Alabama

It is forbidden to drive a car blindfolded. Well, how boring it is to live in Alabama if residents are forced to entertain themselves in this way!

9. SSS, Alaska

It is forbidden to wake a polar bear to photograph it. But to wake the beast, for example, for feeding or jogging is not forbidden.

7. Scotland

Residents of any of the houses must let a passerby knock on the door with a request to use the toilet. Apparently, public restrooms in Scotland are bad.

There is a law prohibiting men from being naked on the beach. For women, these restrictions do not apply.

After 22.00, the law prohibits flushing the toilet, so as not to disturb others with noise. The smells, apparently, do not bother the Swiss.

3. USA, Vermont

To wear a false jaw, a woman must obtain written permission from her spouse. Men can flaunt removable teeth without permission.

2. Germany

For safety reasons, the law prohibits stopping the car on the autobahn, even if gasoline suddenly runs out. Apparently, it’s safer to push your own car to your destination than to stand and wait for help.

1. UK

A room on a postage stamp with an image of a queen turned upside down is equated to high treason. Perhaps this law is very conducive to the development of electronic correspondence.
