Women in Swaziland, a landlocked kingdom bordering South Africa, have been warned that they risk arrest if they wear mini-skirts or tops which expose part of their stomach, BBC reported.

Police spokeswoman Wendy Hleta said police would enforce a law from 1889 that bans "immoral" dressing if officials receive a complaint.
