Every law that's enforced strongly is in the end enforced by a death penalty. That seems a pretty big stretch to me. Can you back that notion up? The woman nagging her husband almost certainly does not anticipate the reaction of robbing the bank Neither does anyone passing a law that requires a fine for inaction. Those passing the law reasonable anticipate that people will either take the action or pay the fine. Sure, there are always some nuts out there but you can't design laws around nuts. Further, no one expects this law to be enforced strongly, I don't think. It just wouldn't be feasible to do so even if a few scofflaws were important enough to warrant the resources strong enforcement would take.
