Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that there was a man who had an orphan girl with him; she used to eat with him. The man's wife feared that he might marry the girl, so once, when the man was away, the woman, with the help of some other women, tied up the girl and destroyed her hymen. When the man returned, he did not find the orphan girl at the dining mat. He asked his wife about her, and she said, "Do not even mention her." When the man inquired about the reason, the woman accused the girl of adultery. The man went to the girl and sought confirmation of the incident; the girl only wept and said nothing. When he insisted, the girl told him the whole story. The man took the case to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and presented the entire matter. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) summoned the man's wife and the other women and questioned them; they immediately confessed to everything. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) to give a verdict, so Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the woman who made the accusation would be subjected to the punishment for false accusation, and the penalty for destroying the hymen would be upon that woman and the women who held the girl. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If it were customary to trample people under camels, today I would have had these women trampled under camels." The narrator says that in those days, it was not customary to trample people under camels.

Hazrat Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that four young girls gathered to play. One said she would be the man, the second said she would be the woman, the third said she would be the woman's father, and the fourth said she would be the man's father. The one playing the man's father asked the one playing the woman's father for his daughter's hand in marriage. When the marriage took place, the girl playing the boy's role damaged the hymen of the girl playing the woman's role. The entire case was presented before Abdul Malik bin Marwan. He made it obligatory for all four girls to pay an amount equal to the dowry and waived the share of the girl who played the woman's role. This decision was presented before Abdullah bin Ma'qil Mazni (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said that if it had come to me, I would have made only the girl who damaged the hymen liable for compensation.

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a woman destroyed a girl's hymen with her finger and claimed that she had committed adultery. This case was brought before Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that the woman would have to pay compensation for destroying the hymen and would receive eighty lashes for the false accusation.

Hazrat Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that in Syria, some girls gathered to play. One girl climbed on top of another, and the one underneath was pressed down, causing her hymen to be ruptured. This case was brought before Abdul Malik bin Marwan, who asked Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) and Qabeesa bin Dhu’ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) about it. Both of them said that blood money (diyah) would be obligatory on all the girls, and one share would be lifted. Ibn Ma’qil (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the diyah should only be upon the one who pressed her down. Hazrat Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in my opinion, this is what should be done, and instead of diyah, compensation should be given for the rupture of the hymen.

Hazrat Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that two girls were in the bathhouse; one pushed the other, causing her hymen to be ruptured. Qazi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) ruled that she was entitled to the equivalent of a mahr.
