This could be fanfic clich� but don't the Amazons not recognize any

It might be clich�, or it might merely be [willful?] ignorance. While I
believe that japan has laws that firbid carrying bladed weapons [katana,
etc] in public, Shampoo initially showed up to kill girl-type-Ranma
wielding a sword, not her later bonbori.
if taking Ranma would hurt him or his family or friends.
That could an attitude of not respecting males or non-warriors, than not
caring about the laws of others.
I don't recall Shampoo or Cologne really showing much respect for
Japanese laws, they did use some drugs, assault, and other such things
on Ranma and other members of the cast.
If the drugs were magical potions, not chemical, I doubt that laws could
quite cover them. Assault? Almost everyone in the series is guilty of
that :j
Also wasn't the K of M given on Japanese soil, so from a non-Amazon
perspective is Ranma clear of that law as he wasn't even in an area
subject to Amazon law.
True, but Ranma *did* defeat her in her home village, even if he got the
wrong kiss at the time.
Well, I do feel that regardless if either of them were more right or
wrong they both did things that hurt the other and no one else helped
matters very much either.
True enough. They both were right, they both were wrong, they both
weren't as considerate of the other's feelings as they should have been,
and noone else helped.
