Law is a system of rules that are created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior. It has been defined both as "the Science of Justice" and "the Art of Justice". But in India we have many weird Laws followed by us. Some of them are listed down.
1.Attempted suicide illegal, not if successful.
Section 309 of the Penal Code makes sure you are punished if you don’t do suicide right. The law states that a successful suicide is legal, but failure to succeed might land you in jail.
2.India’s ‘many’ laws around drinking.
The legal drinking age laws are one of the stupidest and most ridiculed laws in India as the age varies from state to state. While the legal age for drinking is 18 in places like Goa, Himachal Pradesh, UP, Sikkim and Puducherry, it is 25 in Maharashtra. Moreover, some states are absolute dry states with a ban on drinking for all ages. Another wacky Indian law around drinking is that in Delhi home delivery of alcoholic beverages is against the law, but you can have beer and wine from departmental stores to be delivered to your home. Confused yet?
3.You need good teeth to become a motor vehicle inspector.
You read it right. In a toothy tale, according to this law, among the various physical tests one needs to pass in the process of becoming a motor vehicle inspector in Andhra Pradesh, one is also needed to have good teeth.
4.The flying permit.
In another ridiculous law, the Indian Aircraft Act of 1934 considers a kite to also be an aircraft thus making it necessary to get a permit to fly one. As is apparent, this law has never been followed and should be dealt away with immediately.
5.No woman is an adulterer.
According to Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code, only men can ever be adulterous. This gender discriminatory law states that while men can be sentenced to jail for adultery if reported, the women of the country can go around making as many liaisons with other men as they please.
While this law is clearly discriminatory, we see no protests for mens’ rights here. Wonder where the activists are now.
