the idea behind that crazy scenario of a man penetrating a woman when falling from the roof:
He has to pay for the physical injury but not for the shame of raping her.
The entire action was unintentional.
But physical injury is still needed to be accounted for even if unintential, we do it even in our modern laws with 'involuntary manslaughter' etc
However, the hurt to a person's feelings - it apparently needs intent; I guess one cannot take offense when none was meant.
- danamit 4y agoModern law seem to be rooted in religious laws, there is a lot of similarities either unintentionally/intentionally,
- dragonwriter 4y agoPeople didn't used to separate religious belief from how communities were governed; the idea of separate “civil” and “religious” law is a modern dichotomy. Historically, it was just the law of the community; sure, once that was forked into “civil” and “religious” law some places, the two sides of the fork have a lot in common.
