Sometimes laws are formulated according to the whims of the lawmakers or keeping the interest of a particular community in mind. But which is not morally right should not be acceptable for the society. Right to speak, right to express thought, right to live according to one's own choice etc are the canons which should be kept in mind while forming any law.
Which is against the truth will always be a lie. We as a society have weakened because we have left everything on governments. We have created a system which was supposed to serve us but now has become our master.
