A Jurisprudential-legal Examination of Diya of Penetrating Injuries

One of the relatively common crimes that take place against the physical integrity of individuals are injuries that pierce the victim's body and cause suffering and fatigue and in some cases lead to the disability of that organ. The diya for this type of injury, which is called penetrating, is one-tenth of the human diya. Different angles of this crime have not been agreed upon by scholars and need to be studied and examined. Among the controversial cases, we can mention the exact definition of the piercing and the amount of the diya for piercing of the organs and the women's diya in these types of injuries. Based on the descriptive-analytical method, after proposing different jurisprudential viewpoints, the present study evaluates the aforementioned arguments and then shows with numerous arguments that penetrating injury, both in terms and in women's diya, is different from the opinion of the famous jurists and accordingly the legislator of the country. Therefore, a penetrating injury is an injury that splits the end parts of the body and does not come out from the other side, and the amount of its diya does not differ in men and women.
