Chapter on Injuries and Killing Between Women and Men
وَ سَأَلَ جَمِيلٌ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ اَلرَّجُلِ قِصَاصٌ قَالَ "نَعَمْ فِي اَلْجِرَاحَاتِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ اَلثُّلُثَ سَوَاءً فَإِذَا بَلَغَ اَلثُّلُثَ سَوَاءً اِرْتَفَعَ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ سَفَلَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ".
Jamil and Muhammad ibn Humran asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about whether qiṣaṣ (retaliation in kind) applies between a woman and a man. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, in cases of wounds (jirahat) up to one-third of the compensation, they are equal. However, once it reaches one-third, the man's compensation increases, and the woman's compensation decreases."
