Sorry Lovers! Valentine's Day A Big No In These Countries

Saudi Arabia:
‘Nothing Reds on this day!’ says moral police in Saudi Arabia. In this Islamic nation, not just V-day is banned, even selling or wearing anything red on this day is totally a big ‘No.’ Every year on February 14th brings about the same procedure; flower shops and gift shops are prohibited from selling red roses, anything heart-shaped or red for that matter on that day by the “Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice” (CPVPV) also known as the Religious Police. The penalty for violating the rules would lead to bringing the store shut down permanently. Not just that, all the schoolgirls are also prohibited from wearing anything red –not even a red scarf on this very day. The real motive behind banning anything red on this day is to discourage people from celebrating the day of love as it is a non-Islamic occasion and it may lead people to go “astray”; and also restricting people from dating or having any opposite sex attraction before marriage.
