Punishments are not specified for most crimes or misdemeanors, and the sentence is determined by the magistrate. For the most heinous crimes, the penalty is slavery.
Within families, husbands have the authority to correct wives, and parents to chastise children.
As punishment is meted out for crimes, so, too, good deeds are recognized and rewarded with honors, often in the form of statues erected in public places, as incentives to virtue.
