Yes! You read it right! Divorce is illegal in Philippines and Vatican. What if you want to get rid of a relation but the law forbids you! Feels like being in a prison but then it is a law! In Vatican the divorce is not allowed even if it is with the consent of both and in Philippines the same is the law except for the Muslims.

What would you do if you love chewing-gum and are in Singapore! You might be behind bars for breaking the law. Yes chewing gum in Singapore is illegal since 1992. There is also a ban on importing chewing gum to Singapore and only the nicotine gum is allowed with a proper prescription from a doctor. A fine of $1,000 can be imposed if caught chewing a chewing gum!

Spitting is anyway immoral but if you are caught spitting publicly at Daytona Beach then you break the law and are imposed to pay a fine. The city's law forbids anybody to expectorate on the streets or the sidewalks or in any public buildings or any places under the city limits. So, walk tall as you are not going to slip in someone else's spit!

Found a currency note on the streets, pick it, but never dare to step on it! It's illegal! Thailand admires its king so much that, his picture is imprinted on the currency note, it is banned to step on the note by any means.
5. Feeding the pigeons in Venice is illegal

It would be great if Venice could outlaw pigeons, and as it can't do that, the law is made that no one shall feed the birds. This is an end to the tradition of pigeons landing on the tourists willing to exchange some avian bacteria.
