Policies On Cuba

Hammurabi's Laws

Today, there are different degrees of penalties for robbery; none of them thankfully include death. Another example to illustrate the fact of the biasness of these codes is rule number 154:
“If a man have sexual intercourse with his daughter, he shall be expelled from this city”3
