There are rules in our country that we can consider very strange. Our country, which sees jokes such as “It is forbidden to make jokes in this village,” is among the countries that can be considered consistent in such rules. Today, we have listed the interesting bans that have come into force in other countries.
In order for something to be banned in a country, it must be harmful, wrong, and disturbing to other people. In the prohibitions we have listed today, you may have serious difficulties in understanding why some of them are prohibited. Let’s take a closer look at the bans in countries now.
The most ridiculous bans of the countries
Reincarnation is illegal in Tibet without permission from the Chinese government.
Buddhist monks living in Tibet cannot be reincarnated without permission from the Chinese government, according to a law that went into effect in 2007.
It’s a crime not to take your dog out in Rome.
In Rome, Italy, not taking your dog outside is a criminal offense. You can be fined up to $700 if you don’t follow the law, which we think is a very nice rule.
Masturbating is illegal in Saudi Arabia, with serious penalties.
Masturbation is a prohibited act by the government in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. While the penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is death (they are not executed, the maximum sentence is 32 months), in Saudi Arabia it is whipping and imprisonment.

Chewing gum is illegal in Singapore.
Of course, you may wonder why a chewing gum should be banned. It’s a bit silly in our opinion, but there are a couple of stories. The most well-known is the malfunction of the subway due to chewing gum thrown by a citizen and as a result millions of dollars of damage. However, this does not sound very realistic. The most logical thing is that chewing gum causes environmental pollution in some places.
It is illegal to drive dirty cars in Russia.
According to this rule, which is valid in Russia’s Chelyabinsk Province, you may face a penalty for driving with a dirty car.
It is illegal to scold dogs in Switzerland.
In Switzerland, which is known for the importance it gives to animal rights, it is forbidden to scold a dog even if it is barking. We hope that the importance given to animal rights in a country where dogs are free just like people, will be shown in our other country and also in other countries.

It’s also punishable by 6 months in prison.
Surprise eggs are banned in the US.
Any food containing toys for children is banned by the FDA. It is also a crime to bring these foods, which are banned on the grounds that they are harmful, into the country.
It was illegal to die in Lanjaron, Spain.
Of all the rules, this is perhaps the strangest. In the past, when Lanjaron’s cemeteries were completely filled, it was forbidden to die in the town until a new cemetery was built. Of course, it cannot be said that the deceased did not care much about this rule.
