If a slave commits an offense against his free wife, she is entitled to the same compensation that would be due to a free woman who is a stranger to him. Should his master surrender him to her, their marriage is thereby annulled.

When a slave has been half-emancipated and then perpetrates an offense, half of the assessed value of that offense is his own liability and the other half falls upon his master, who may, if he wishes, hand him over for that share. If, on the contrary, someone commits an offense against the half-emancipated slave, Mālik transmitted two opinions: according to one, the blood money is payable solely to the master; according to the other, it is divided equally between the master and the slave.
