A man strikes a pregnant woman, she miscarries and then dies. What is the injurer liable for?
Halachah 5 states that if the woman dies after miscarrying, the injurer is exempt from all payment — the Torah does not distinguish between intentional and unintentional acts where capital punishment applies.
Question 2
One who injures his colleague on Yom Kippur intentionally — what is his liability?
Halachah 9: Although generally a person cannot receive both lashes and pay a fine, bodily injury is an explicit exception — the Torah explicitly states "he shall pay" for one who injures (Exodus 21:19).
Question 3
A man injures his own Canaanite slave. What is the legal outcome?
Halachah 10 states plainly that one who injures his own Canaanite (non-Jewish) slave is exempt (patur) — no liability whatsoever.
Question 4
Someone injures a married woman's face. How is the boshet payment divided?
Halachah 15: For injuries visible in a public place (face, neck, hands), one-third of boshet/nezeq goes to the woman, two-thirds to the husband. The reverse applies for concealed injuries.
Question 5
A deaf-mute who caused injuries later gains the ability to hear and speak. Must he pay for the earlier injuries?
Halachah 20 states that even if a deaf-mute later regains hearing/speech, he is not required to pay for injuries caused when he lacked mental competence.
