70. Exile and imprisonment are decreed for the thief # 45 |
|
Bahá’u’lláh states that the determination of the degree of
penalty, in accordance with the seriousness of the offence,
rests with the House of Justice (Q and A 49). The punishments
for theft are intended for a future condition of society, when
they will be supplemented and applied by the Universal
House of Justice.
