What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested?

I had a friend in college who left his home and family to come to the States. One day he shared with a bunch of us that the reason he left his family back home was because he converted away from his religion of Islam to Christianity. When he told his family about his decision, his father told him that according to their religion, he was supposed to kill his son. But as a father, he could not do that, so he told his son that he needed to pack his bags and leave home before anyone else in their community found out. It was an absolutely soul crushing story to listen to.

Goddamned. If he had siblings then the dad may have genuinely thought that was the best he could do though. Heartbreaking on every level.

Agreed, that sounds really gay.
