| Summary | "A penalidade na India segundo o Código de Manu" by Cândido de Figueiredo is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This book delves into the penal system in ancient India as described in the Manusmriti, one of the oldest legal texts, and examines its implications on the society of that time. It aims to illuminate the intertwining of law, religion, and social hierarchy within the context of penal legislation. In this publication, Figueiredo provides a comprehensive analysis of the various aspects of punishment as dictated by the Code of Manu. He addresses the nature of crimes, ranging from serious offenses against the priestly class to smaller infractions, and details the distinctive penalties assigned according to the caste system. Figueiredo highlights that the royal authority played a crucial role in administering justice, with the king holding considerable power as both judge and executor of the law. Furthermore, the text discusses the evidence required in trials, including the use of witness testimonies and the controversial practice of ordeals, reflecting the deeply ingrained beliefs of the era. Overall, the book presents a critical look at the historical context of India's legal system, shedding light on its complexities and moral philosophies while underlining the inherent inequalities in its application.
