not allowed by the constitution

Not allowed by the main law of a country, called the constitution.

استعمال کا انداز: [law/action] is (declared/ruled) unconstitutional
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "unconstitutional" with "illegal" and use them as complete synonyms. "Unconstitutional" is used when something conflicts with the constitution itself, while "illegal" is broader and refers to anything that breaks a law. Another common mistake is the incorrect form *"inconstitutional"; the correct word is "unconstitutional".
ہم معنی الفاظ
illegal (More general; covers anything against the law, not only against the constitution specifically.) | unlawful (Formal; focuses on being against the law, not necessarily against the constitution in particular.)
متضاد الفاظ
constitutional (Direct opposite; means allowed by or consistent with the constitution.) | lawful (General opposite; means allowed by law, not in conflict with legal rules.)

jokingly extremely wrong or unfair

Said in a joking way to mean something is very wrong or unfair, as if it should be against the law of the country.

استعمال کا انداز: [situation/requirement] is (almost) unconstitutional
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this humorous use is literal and legal when it is actually exaggeration. In everyday chat, if people call food portions or school rules "unconstitutional", they usually mean "very unfair" or "too much", not that a court will decide about it.
ہم معنی الفاظ
outrageous (Also expresses strong disapproval, but is not specifically tied to the joke about law or the constitution.) | ridiculous (Similar humorous disapproval, but more about something being silly than about fairness or justice.)
متضاد الفاظ
totally fair (Emphasizes complete fairness, the opposite of describing something as wildly unfair in a joking way.)
