How do they define blasphemy? Would they prosecute a minister of one
religion for conducting services that members of another religion
consider blasphemous?

So a child who is the victim of a criminal act, or who is accused of
one, has no access to court records relevant to his case?

>Another misdemeanor prohibits using "indecent, immoral, obscene,
>vulgar or insulting language" in the presence of a woman or child.

Again, does the statute objectively define what those adjectives mean?

>Seduction is a felony.

Defined how[1]? Have they ever prosecuted a female for seducing a
male? If not, why not?

[1] You woo her with flowers and candy. She consents to marry you,
then[2] the door bursts open and they carry you off in handcuffs.

[2] Or they wait for the actual wedding to arrest you. That gives them
a more airtight case.
