Strict? Not at all.

Shampoo gave the kiss of death to Akane, and never followed through on

it.

She also gave the kiss to Hinako in the first Hinako storyline, because
Hinako had beaten her in combat, but never followed through on it.

Amazon Law #1: If an outsider female beats an Amazon in combat, the Amazon
              must give the outsider a kiss of death, and follow her to
              the ends of the earth, or Japan, whichever is closer, and
              kill her, unless the outsider is an important character.
              So said the Great Goddess Takahashi.

Amazon Law #2: If an outsider male beats an Amazon in combat, the Amazon
              must give the outsider a kiss of marriage, and follow him
              to the yadda yadda yadda...

Yeah, but listen to what Gary said. What makes a law succesful is its
enforcement.
Outside of the first few volumes there is no indication of heavy enforcement
of Amazon
laws. Then again besides Cologne, Mousse and Shampoo there are no other
Amazons
in the manga (as more than just background characters) so it is kind of hard
to say how
the laws are actually carried out.

Until I find better things to write about. Ja ne.
