Hi, Tony,
I never heard the expression.
Are you sure it's not part of a sentence, such as, "I love law breakers!" ?
- A.

Yes, it comes in the sentence:

There are places in the town reserved for love law breakers. (in the context of shady places where adulturers can meet without fear of their unlawful relationships being revealed)

You've taught me a new one. I've never heard the expressions "love law(s)" or "love law breakers."
Is it a translation, by any chance?

- A.

Edit. All the google hits are the sort of use which I suggested -
except for the EF exchange between you and me.

AvangiI would strongly recommend against using it in the way you suggest.
Likewise.

To refer to a prohibition on adultery as a "love law" is not going to work.
