In Samoa, forgetting your wife’s birthday is considered a crime potentially leading to fines or a five-year imprisonment for repeated offences.
The law aims to maintain marital harmony with a dedicated police team ensuring compliance. Warnings precede penalties, and awareness campaigns inform wives about their rights under this unique legislation.
One can’t help to wonder, what would happen if the roles were reversed. What if wives forgot their husbands’ birthdays? What then?
