Stupid State Laws - Hawaii 3

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Hawaii

"Men from the Orakama tribe are not permitted to eat their second wife."

Now hold on just a minute.  You can EAT your first wife if you are part of the Orakama tribe?  Holy fuck, that's insane.  But it's just as insane that they made it illegal for them to EAT their second wife.  However, is it possible that some lawmaker though that "eat" meant something more....perverted?  That would make this law make a lot more sense, but at the same time, kind of make husbands selfish in the bedroom, if you know what I'm saying.  If this law has nothing to do with munching the muff, then Hawaii really has some weird priorities when it comes to marriage.

"Alright, rookie, the plan is easy.  We wait until he eats his first wife, remarries, attempts to eat his second wife, and then we bust his ass."
"Sarge......uh......sigh......great plan.  Wait, is he even part of the Orakama tribe?"
"Good question.  We'll go with yes."

  1. I was wondering if you had a source for this "law." Im not trying to be confrontational, but I am Native Hawaiian and I have never heard of the Orakama tribe in Hawaii. I don't even think it is a Hawaiian word. We do have stupid laws, for sure, but misinformation such as this, if it is, helps to perpetuate Native Hawaiian stereotypes. Again, I mean no disrespect.
