2 Laws that are outrages:

Law 110: if a nun open a tavern, or enter a tavern to drink, then shall this woman be turned to death.

Law Law 108: If a woman wine seller does not accept grain according to gross weight in payment of drink, but takes money, and the price of the drink is less than that of the corn, she shall be convicted and thrown into the water.

1 Law that could be used if we modified it:

kenne77 — 2024-04-16 12:41:56 UTC

Law 195: If a son strikes his father, his hand shall be cut off.

We could use this one but instead of the sons hand getting cut off, the son could get grounded.

Law 110: A nun shall not be drinking in a tavern
