So many countries around the world have a ton of centuries-old laws that are still in effect today even though most of them are utterly ridiculous. You can still find laws that prohibit wearing makeup in public or wearing your hat backward. All of these laws are very real and could get you slapped with a hefty fine or even jail time.

Dubai
Every culture has their share of extramarital affairs, but if you commit adultery in Dubai, you can face jail time. That is enough to convince anyone to keep it in their pants.

Saudi Arabia
This one may be hard to believe since we live in such an evolved world. In Saudi Arabia, it is against the law for women to drive.

Massachusettes
Massachusettes has cleaned up a lot of the old laws over the years. However, there is one thing they will just not tolerate. A woman is not allowed to be on top while having intercourse.
Michigan
We know some of you might be into some major kink. You might love to be spanked, tied up, or even be pottied on. One thing you better never do is talk dirty to each other while having sex if you live in Michigan, or you might end up with the police at your door if they find out.
Saudi Arabia
Some countries have laws that we just have to respect no matter how much we might disagree with them. Except, of course, when it potentially involves underage marriage. In Saudi Arabia, there is no minimum age for getting married.
Vermont
One of our strangest laws comes from Vermont. According to their laws, a woman must first get permission from her husband before she can wear false teeth.

Thailand
In Thailand, it is illegal to step on money. There are no known cases of anyone being prosecuted for this, so why is it even a law anymore?
Arkansas
If you're tired of not being able to beat your wife, simply move to Arkansas and all your problems will be solved. That's right; hitting your so-called property is absolutely okay once per month, where the law will be there to protect you all the way.
Pennsylvania
Remember the old gag where you would tie a string to a dollar bill and pull it when someone tried to pick it up? If you do this in Pennsylvania, you could be facing a hefty fine.

Iowa
If you have an awesome mustache and want to kiss someone in public, it is totally against the law in Iowa. Your beloved facial hair could get you in a ton of trouble.
Utah
If you have a thing for your cousin and want to get married, all you have to do is wait until you are 65 years old. Then, it is legal in Utah to freely marry your family members. We are guessing it is because you are past the age of making babies if you are a woman, so there are no inbred abominations being born into the family.
Switzerland
If you live in Switzerland, you won't be able to take that late night dump after 10 pm. If you even try to flush, you will risk having the coppers knocking on your door and ruining your night.
Florida
One of the funniest, weird laws comes from Florida. You are not allowed to fart after 6 pm on Thursdays, in public. Not only will you get an earful from anyone who witnessed your crime, but the police might just handcuff you on the spot.
England
One day you're at the House of Parliament in England, just chilling out with your fellow lawmakers and politicians. Suddenly you suffer a fatal heart attack and drop dead where you stand. Guess what? What you did is totally illegal - which means you are now dead to rights.
Samoa
Here is one that the ladies will love. In Samoa, it is illegal for a husband to forget his wife's birthday. So, you can expect to have a timely, thoughtful celebration for every year that you are married, or else.
