10 Weird Laws In Michigan

Surely, laws are needed to have some measure of control over our conduct. We’re not questioning that. What we do find interesting are the many laws that have been enacted in Michigan over the years that by today’s standards either would not be enforced or are just plain weird.

We’ve unearthed 10 weird laws in Michigan. Many of them have a lot to do with how men and women interact with each other in personal relationships. Have a look:

2. No man may seduce and corrupt an unmarried girl, or he risks five years in prison.

3. Interracial relationships are against the law in Michigan. That can't possibly still be a thing.

4. Adultery is illegal, but can only be enforced when the affected husband or wife makes a complaint. Does that stop some people?

5. Couples cannot live together unless they're married.

6. Cursing is not allowed in front of women and children. WTF?

7. All bathing suits in Rochester must be inspected by the head of police.

8. In the city of Niles, you must exit your car on the sidewalk side of the car.

10. It's illegal to scowl at women in Detroit.

That’s really interesting, huh? Obviously, many of these illegal things in Michigan are outdated and are no longer enforced. Tell us though, what are some wacky things in Michigan that you know are illegal?
