Oh my god, my sister asked me the same question two days ago! you are not her are u?
Well the answer is that no. The reason is that it will be difficult to prove if someone did put a spell on you and that this was the actual reason something happened to you! The only way a person can be punished for this is if you smash his/her face.:p No, actually that person will be punished by magic itself because evil spells have an impact on the person who is casting them also! Evil can be reciprocal even if the other person does not put a spell back at you.

You can't go to prison, but you can be cursed by someone if they think you out a spell on them or if you put a spell on someone the rule of three can come back to haunt you.

No. No judge, jury or prosecutor would willingly admit to a belief in magic by convicting someone in such circumstances. Although there may still be witchcraft laws on the books in some places (laws are rarely if ever taken off the books no matter how archaic or ridiculous they may be) they are not enforced, or even taken seriously when someone is reported. If they were to start prosecuting for things like that...I would be looking at several centuries of sentneces for my work.

In many country's of the world witchcraft and sorcery are still serious crimes with penalties ranging from public beatings to death. Most of the cultures that still hold to these archaic are in Africa or the Asia-Pacific regions, we can only hope that this rectified over a period of time.
But in many western cultures, although you may not be able to be jailed for putting a spell on someone directly. If it is well known to the individual in question that you have done this, you may have left yourself open for a harassment suit or something similar according to your counrty's legal system.
I would like to respond to DARKVITKI's response to your question. I do not know what it is like where you come from but here in Queensland, Australia, we had anti-witchcraft laws up until approximately 10/11/02, and from time to time they were enforced (the penalties went to the extreme of 6 months jail). I was one of many that petitioned the government to have these laws overturned, it took a long time and a lot of effort. But in short some governments still enforce these laws, sad but true.

only if the police run a spell check, but they never do,
like almost all the people on Yahoo answers. Hey! Not a spelling mistake in your question. Wow!
But seriously, No. Although you had better keep that info to yourself, No one knows when people decide that They will not suffer a witch to live?

I don't know I don't think so, but perhaps, it shows intention. Intention is part of the law. So do you put spells on people? I have some I wouldn't mind you putting some on for me both good and bad spells will do in these cases. How about a love potion for the man of my dreams? Don't ask me who he is, LOL he is too many at this point.
