Be glad this one isn't in today's "penal" code

Old-school smackdown

I think there's something to be said for our society's self-defense laws. This rule seems a bit harsh.

Deuteronomy 25:12
"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."

Basically, fellas, if you're getting beat up in a fight, your wife can't help you out.

Well, in all fairness, she WAS trying to grab the guy's secrets!
