Weirdest Laws from Around the World
Strange Laws of The World
1. Calling a woman a "slut" in Oklahoma
This law created back in 1910, long before we could even imagine something like Internet trolls made it illegal to "orally or otherwise, falsely and maliciously or falsely and wantonly impute to any female, married or unmarried, a want of chastity." Back then, you could end up in jail for 90 days and have to pay the state $500. if this were put into place around the country nowadays, the Internet trolls might finally think twice before harassing women online.
2. Naming your baby something stupid in Denmark
There are a lot of weird laws around the world, but most of them don't dictate something as harmless as baby names. It might seem a little oppressive that parents are only legally allowed to pick between 33,000 government-approved names for their newborns. But then again, if it means living in a world where we never have to read about celebrity kids named Blue Ivy, Pilot Inspector, or Apple, maybe it's not the worst idea.
