(Before It's News)

Here are the Top 10 Countries with the Weirdest Laws, which unfortunately existed and may still exist:

1. Great Britain: A ban on people dying in the Houses of Parliament because it would necessitate them a state funeral has been named the most absurd legislation in Britain…for good reason. If you become all of the sudden ill or look sick, you will be escorted out of the building.

2. Swaziland: In 1985, lawmakers in Swaziland banned couples from any lovemaking activities in a hot spring called Cuddle Puddle. Couples were threatened with fines and imprisonment.

3. Spain: When driving, be sure not to wear flip-flops. Also, don’t leave groceries in the back seat if you’re driving a convertible.

4. Brazil: Brazilian men are still permitted to return non-virgin brides. You would expect this in a Muslim-dominant country, but not in South America. The law was in effect between 1916 and 2002 and men were given ten days to receive an annulment.

5.Greece: You would have to be foolish to do it without it being against the law, but don’t wear high heels at Greek archaeological sites such as the Acropolis. Officials found that heels pierce the ancient sites, so they put the ban on high heels in 2008.

6. Alabama:  Alabama’s anti-obscenity law, enacted in 1998, bans the distribution of “any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for anything of pecuniary value.” The law does not ban the possession of sex toys; residents may legally purchase sex toys out of state for use in Alabama.

7. Thailand: Drivers male or female in Thailand can’t drive shirtless, whether it’s a car, bus, or a tuk-tuk cab.
