Summary Laws of Singapore, Iran and Romania are featured in this story
(Web Desk) – Believe it or not, these three laws in different countries of the world actually were enacted at one point in time and people complied with these…
Chewing gum in Singapore
The state banned chewing gums in public places in 1992 and although the law has been repealed people could still be fined as many as USD 700 if gum is not disposed properly.
Pharmacists and dentists are authorised to sell gum and write prescriptions in cases of dental health.
Scrabble banned in Romania
Romania banned scrabble back in the 80s as the then president had cited it being overly intellectual and a subversive evil.
However, the state today has her own scrabble federation as the law was repealed.
Iran’s ban on ponytails
In 2010, Iran had banned men’s ponytails, long hair and mullets in order to keep citizens from Western culture. Violators of the law are given an undesirable haircut and repeated violations result in hefty fines.
Barber shops that provide Western trimming and styles are shut.
