‘A law is valuable not because it is a law but because there is right in it” are the words of Henryward Beecher.

But what if laws made are completely opposite to the above statement and totally bizarre having no potential right in it.Sounds very perplexed, right? Although there are several bizarre laws which I’ll disclose today and I’m pretty sure you’ll get astonished to another level.

  • So let’s begin the fun, following are the 20 most bizarre laws ever made:

1.It is unlawful in Thailand to drive a car shirtless, regardless of the hot weather or any other causes. So make sure you take lot of shirts while having a trip there.

2.”To serve ketchup along with the food in school canteens is banned(except French fries.)“in France, this step is taken to preserve their traditional cuisines. Maybe French fries is an exception because it is French(haha).

3.Why would someone destroy money? But still destroying money is an crime in Turkey and they consider it as insult of their national flag and leads to jail.

4.”Interrupting or disturbing wedding or funerals is unauthorised in Australia”, and will not only ban you from all social events but also gets a fine and even imprisonment.

5.If you’re tired of your kids playing video game at midnight, send them to south korea simple. I’m not kidding, it’s a law for kids there not to play video game at midnight till 6 in morning.

6.If you have tattoos and especially of lord Buddha you’ll not be allowed to explore Srilanka, also taking selfies in front of idols of lord Buddha is prohibited.

7.A very bizarre rule in Madagascar is “Pregnant women are not allowed to wear hat”.
