What are laws? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, laws are “a rule or order that it is advisable or obligatory to observe”. Anywhere you go, you will find rules which draw a line between what is right or wrong, whose purpose is to ensure that order is maintained in a society. Have you ever disagreed with a law, or believe it wrong? Today, fellow bloggers, I will post some laws which might seem false, but do exist; yet they are merely enforced.
