The ***defamation*** libelling/slander of chaste women


Article 11 Defamation, Libel and Slander.
Section 6-5-180 Import of accusations of false swearing or commission of crime.
Section 6-5-181 Words falsely imputing woman's chastity actionable.
Section 6-5-182 Libel or slander - Burden of proof.
Section 6-5-183 Libel or slander - Mitigation of damages - Evidence of truth or circumstances.
Section 6-5-184 Libel or slander - Mitigation of damages - Retraction.

Expalanation : Legally speaking
spoken words are slander
printed words are libel

Good luck:)

defamation married chaste women

تشويه سمعة المرأة المحصنة
المحصنة هنا تعنى المتزوجة أو الأمة التى لها سيد و يستولدها
أى ليست العفيفة فقط ، أى محصنة ضد جريمة الزنا

--------------------------------------------------

إذن لابد من توضيح معنى تشويه السمعة مع معنى الزواج و العفة و كونها إمرأة

--------------------------------------------------

لأن الفتاة العذراء أو السيدة الثيب الغير متزوجات إذا اتهموا بالزنا لا يطلق على هذا الإتهام قذف محصنات بل اتهام بالزنا فقط لأنهن غير محصنات ضد جريمة الزنا
