South Carolina: It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the
courthouse steps on Sundays.

This law is often quoted as an unusual law, but I still can't find
where this one is officially on the books. The urban legend goes that
a man can beat his wife only on Sundays on the courthouse steps and
only with a stick. Needless to say, I've never heard of this taking
place or being enforced in South Carolina.
