The strangest 10 laws around the world

Every country in the world enacts laws to serve its people and citizens, but some countries sometimes pass strange laws, unbelievable laws of mind, and some very funny.

1- Britain prevents death in parliament:

The law is one of the foundations and norms that govern and regulate society since society cannot live successfully if its members are not subject to the laws governing them, and do what they like without regard for their duties and rights, the law establishes the norms that determine the rights and duties of individuals establish the appropriate penalty in the event of a breach of those norms and foundations, and apply the sanction of the Government, where legal rules are constantly changed; Depending on developments and changes in society, and in democratic societies, the text of the Act provides ways to modify laws unfairly; That is because justice is a fundamental principle of law. British law prohibits death within the House of Parliament, because anyone who dies inside the halls of Parliament in Britain deserves a formal funeral, which is costly, yet at least four deaths were within the British Parliament, including Guy Fox, a member of the English Regional Catholic Group, but they were not given a formal funeral. If you feel sick or have a cold, you should cancel your visit to the British Parliament that day, because Parliament is located in the Royal Palace, and the Government will have to hold an official funeral for anyone who dies in it, and that's going to cost a lot.

2 - Switzerland No toilet entry at night:

All of us know the State of Switzerland is a wonderful beautiful country, the country of banks, and the best country of watchmaking despite its beauty and attendance, and its wonderful picturesque areas, but there are some strange laws in the world that Switzerland has a share of.

In Switzerland, urination is prohibited at night, after 10 pm, and a person must defer going to the toilet until the next day or at another time, the law aims to get the person a good rest during the night, which is very important in Switzerland, between 10 pm to 6 am if a person has to go at night to spend his pee after 10 pm, it is prohibited to clean the bathroom, otherwise, you are accused of disturbing the neighbors, as it includes respect for neighbors' rights in Switzerland, laundry is prohibited at night.

3 - Athena prohibited the use of high heels:

If ladies wish to make a sightseeing tour of the Greek city of Athens, it is better to give up high heels at home. Greek law prohibits the wearing of high heels when wandering between archaeological monuments in Athens such as the Acropolis or the Parthenon.

Some of the country’s most famous ancient monuments do not allow visitors to wear high heels. Authorities put the ban in place in 2009, since sharp-soled shoes were added to the wear and tear of national treasures, “Female visitors must wear shoes that do not wound the monuments,” Eleni Korka, Director of Greek Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, told the Daily Mail in 2009. “These monuments have a skin that suffers and people must realize that.”

4 - In Spain is prohibited to drive in light shoes or be barefoot:

Do not rush to choose your shoes when driving in Spain, as Spanish law prohibits driving with light shoes that do not have a bar around the back of the ankle. It is also illegal to drive by two feet.

Flip-flops or any sandal that does not have a strap around the back of the ankle (or driving in bare feet) is simply illegal for driving fines start from around 100 to 200 euros if you are stopped and found to be wearing these. (Or not wearing any footwear at all) the law was changed to outlaw this footwear (or lack of) whilst driving.

5 - Germany - Highway driving penalty with the unfilled tank:

Not that the laws are stupid, but the laws are for Stupid People or at least Stupid Acts. Or maybe just irresponsible or maybe just forgetful. But hey, I can tell you, if I knew that there was a fine for running out of gas, I would think at least twice about skipping that last tank station with the needle pointing near empty. So is the law making me more responsible, making the road safer for me and others? Hmm, maybe it is.

The law in Germany prohibits running out of fuel from a car's tank when driving through highways. Although you are unlikely to be imprisoned for running out of fuel, you are likely to be fined for stopping by the road.

Parking on an Autobahn will incur a fine of €70 as well as two points on your license. For something as serious as driving in the wrong direction, the fine is €200, with an additional two-point penalty and one-month license suspension.

6 - Venice - Feeding Pigeons:

Venice, Italy, is a tourist-central during the high season, its narrow streets and open piazzas teeming with holidaymakers and residents alike trying to pass each other. Watching overall from perches on high or scurrying between the many feet is, according to the latest estimate, 100,000 pigeons – almost twice the residential population. Where did they all come from, and how does such a small city cope with that many birds? One recurring theme that you have probably seen if you’ve ever looked at holiday snaps, spoken to anyone who has been there, or been there yourself, is the ever-present cooing, flapping, and pecking of thousands of Columba Livia domestic: otherwise known as city, street, domestic or feral pigeons. They are everywhere, perched along roofs, atop columns and archways, jostling on bridge buttresses. They skulk in café doorways, on hotel steps, crowding out the piers of gondolas and foot ferries to other islands. They peck along the sills beneath stained-glass windows of chapels and concert halls and the Basilica, the cathedral that dominates Piazza San Marco on the main island. Not even the many winged lion statues, the emblem of St. Mark after whom the cathedral and square are named, are free from their four-toed grasp.

It is illegal to feed pigeons in San Marco Square in the Italian city of Venice. She may be fined, as this law was enacted to prevent birds from damaging historic buildings.

7 - Frankfurt - Ski Speed:

The valleys and hills are covered in a thick blanket of snow, and the tree branches long since barren, reach up to the sky. Wooden-clad houses pepper the hillsides and the village church steeples contrast against the sky. Moreover, the sheer absence of color creates an almost black-and-white image in my mind's eye! Puffs of white steam escape from everyone’s lips as they brave the cold to hit the slopes! Finally, I look and -11 registers on the dashboard, leaving me to wonder.

Frankfurt and in under 2 hours you can reach the outskirts of the forest that once ignited the imaginations of the Brothers Grimm! Although in fairness, during the winter months, it definitely has more of a CS Lewis feel than the Brothers Grimm. Venture yet further inwards and you’ll find yourself at the foot of the Feldberg where you are free to carve up the slopes and ski to your heart's content, the law prohibits the speed of figure skating in the German city of Frankfurt from exceeding 50 mph. But it is noted that it is difficult for many skiers to reach this speed, so there is no need to worry.

8 -Barbados - Camouflage Clothing:

The “why” varies between countries, but it’s illegal to wear camouflage in Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Nigeria, Oman, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, St Lucia, Trinidad, and Tobago, Zambia, or Zimbabwe. You probably won’t end up in jail, but you can expect to part ways with all your camouflage gear, even if they’re the only things you have on. This is yet another reminder to always pack a change of clothes in your carry-on. Oh, and it’s illegal to even have camouflage with you, so expect to be asked if you have any in your bag.

In Barbados, camouflage clothing is prohibited, as such colors are worn only by the country's anti-drug and defense officers. So if you're seen wearing it, you can be considered an impersonator of a police officer.

9 - Rome - Sitting on the stairs:

ROME — Maiken Offerdal of Norway and her teenage sons were just sitting down on Rome’s famed Spanish Steps on Wednesday when they heard two shrieks of a whistle, a police officer walked over and tut-tutted: No sitting, he said sternly. Never mind the long tradition of lounging on the fabled spot — a scene perhaps best evoked by Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the 1953 film Roman Holiday sitting on the Spanish Steps is now subject to a fine of 400 euros, or about $450, under new municipal rules that ban a variety of activities in the city’s historic center.

If you are walking in Rome and tired of your legs, be careful to choose where to sit as it is illegal to sit on the city's famous Spanish stairs. The law was imposed by local authorities, after finding many people sitting for a long time, obstructing the passage of others. Fines ranging from 160 to 400 euros were imposed.

10 - Singapore - chewing gum:

For a while after the gum ban was introduced in 1992 it was all foreign journalists wanted to talk about, Lee Kuan Yew complained later, in conversation with US writer Tom Plate. That and caning, as a form of punishment. The ban remains one of the best-known aspects of life in Singapore, along with the country's laws against litter, graffiti, jaywalking, spitting, expelling "mucus from the nose" and urinating anywhere but in a toilet. (If it's a public toilet, you are legally required to flush it.)

Singapore passed a law banning eating gum to maintain the highest hygiene standards in the country. Holidaymakers are therefore allowed to bring a maximum of two packages of gum to the country, but if they run out they will suffer to get more. (B B C NEWS).
