Creating the perfect set of laws is no easy business. Passing through a new law requires the approval of a number of officials before it can be considered, and even then it's often a long time before it's actually implemented. The same tricky process applies to the removal of existing laws, which often means that the country is left with a bunch of laws that don't really make much sense in the modern world.

This list takes a look at 15 laws that, if they were all to apply in the country you currently live in, you've probably broken already. From ridiculous sexism towards women, to weird laws that were only introduced recently, each of these laws are hilariously bizarre.
