And we thought some of OUR laws were strange... 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. (Mirror mirror on the wall... I see Betty... I see Susie... I see...) 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?) The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (wonder how they enforce that one?)
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. 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?) |
