Top ten funniest and bizarre laws around the world

New Delhi: Recently, the Madras High Court was wrongly misquoted for ruling that an unmarried couple indulging in physical relationship will be considered married, in spite of them being consenting adults. The online media exploded in great furore and so did the social networking sites.Here we present top 10 most ridiculous, out of date laws on the planet: 1. In Kentucky people are not allowed to use firearms which are longer than 6 feet.So, if you are a serial killer, you may have to use a weapon which is less than 6 feet otherwise you may face a lot of trouble. 2. In the state of Florida if a single woman parachutes out of an airplane on a Saturday she would be jailed. Flying in the air like a free bird may be fun, but not if police is waiting for you on the ground. Watch out all single women in Florida! 3. In Great Britain, pregnant women are allowed to deliver babies in any public place and even use a police helmet if required. This is the ultimate one. Definitely, a country which takes good care of its citizens. 4. In London, people are not allowed to catch a cab if they are infested with plague.London was struck with plague once, the terror of the disease can make the governance such berserk was not expected. 5. In the state of Alabama people are not allowed to drive while blindfolded.This is one of the dumbest laws ever. Can someone actually do this that a law is needed for it to be enforced. . 6. In Bahrain, the law prohibits a gynaecologist to look directly at a patient's organs. He must use mirror reflections to do his job.If you are vacationing in Bahrain and a medical emergency necessitates a visit to the local obstetrician/gyanaecologist, just go back home. Call me crazy but I wouldn't let any physician treat me by using mirrors to find his way around – I am pretty sure head do more harm than good. 7. In Scotland the law says citizens to allow whoever knocks on their door to use their toilet.So when in Scotland don't bother looking for public toilets, just knock on the first door that you can find and ask to use the facilities. This law may be stupid but it does keep the city streets clean; who would want to go in a dark alley when they can use any toilet they want? 8. In Indonesia masturbation is strictly forbidden. Anyone who breaks the law and gets caught risks getting beheaded. All single men travelling to this Asian paradise should pay real close attention to this one, if you can't find any female companionship just control yourself, don't lose your head 9. In San Salvador drunk-driving is punishable by death. The sentence is carried out immediately by a hastily-assembled firing squad.I guess tourists that pick San Salvador as a holiday destination should use taxis as much as possible to avoid some potentially fatal accident. Drunk-driving is stupid and irresponsible but perhaps this is a bit too much? 10. In the English city of Liverpool, home of The Beatles, a woman is prohibited by law to walk around topless, unless she is selling exotic fish at the market.So if you plan a trip to Liverpool and for any reason want to take off your top, the fish market is the place to go. The smell might not be easy to handle but at least you'll be able to walk around topless legally.
