Re: Punishment

As per my knowledge there's no blanket category of mental torture that has a specific prescribed punishment. I hope that answers your question.

Re: Punishment

people doing all sorts of physical torture which is "actually" a result of mental torture but no one is punishing the person who did mental torture but the person who did physical torture ........ just because you cant express, explain & provide evidence for mental torture ..... that is not fair ....

if you see all the psychological patients out there who are doing harm to others & serial killers are one way or the other result of mental torture.... aren't they?

Re: Punishment

Throughout the whole thread, you've hardly been able to give any examples of what you mean. So what exactly are you proposing to punish? Mental torture as you talk about it seems to be more as result of some other action. Whatever that other action is may be punishable or may not be and would depend on what it is more specifically, and your question is too vague in this regard.

Re: Punishment

what examples you want me to give...... have you not seen anyone getting emotionally & mentally tortured? ..... I don't think soo ..... how can I explain this mental torture thingy to you when you don't get it from the term "mental torture" ......

Re: Punishment

I'm not the only one who isn't understanding what exactly you're talking about. Anyhow, if there is a punishment for it, it would highly depend on what exactly is being done. From what i know, there's no punishment for it like there is for stealing, drinking alcohol, adultery etc.

A spoiled brat not getting their way can claim they're being mentally tortured. Would you want to punish someone for that?

Re: Punishment

All those things you mentioned don’t come under mental torture category … all these things are visible & there is punishment for these things mentioned in islam to be given in this world ….. there is punishment for stealing and adultery if I am not wrong which is “sangsaar” I think …..

If someone is torturing other person by taunting him/her that you are not good enough bla bla bla & making him/her feel inferior is a mental torture ( which is not visible )…. And as a result of this mental torture that particular person kills the other person ( which is visible & there is punishment for this thing too) ….. now you cant say that the person who killed someone was a spoiled brat …… person who murdered someone will be punished but not that other dude who is actually the culprit …..why ....

Re: Punishment

I'm not saying that stealing, adultery and alcohol consumption are mental torture (though that can definitely be the result). I'm saying that those crimes have clearly defined punishments. I'm also not saying that a person who has been put down by someone is necessarily a spoiled brat. What I'm saying is that a spoiled brat might also feel mentally tortured when not getting their way. Anyhow, from what I know mental torture is a category of its own with a defined punishment. In the case you mentioned, if someone is saying something to someone, then it might be punishable but would depend on what they're saying. You're better off asking an aalim for a proper response.
