Britain’s absurd laws that are now obsolete

Most ridiculous British laws:

1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of parliament (27%).

2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside-down (7%).

3. In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (6%)

……………………..

7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the king, and the tail of the queen (3.5%).

8. It is illegal to avoid telling the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%).

Well, that got me interested, there sure must be laws in India that are NOT Obsolete yet. Just a sample,IPC 377 - “sex against the order of the nature” is illegal and is an important harassment tool for cops. Section 498a that doubles up as a joke for all men waiting to be married, men had to form support groups and those whose stories are heard don’t treat this law as a joke anymore.
