(3) The pernicious deed needs to have been committed at the same time the deed was put under punishment and in the territories listed under (1). Exceptions to this apply in accordance to §1.
(4) This criminal law does not differentiate whether the perpetrator, the victim, the accomplice or any other person involved into the crime or misdemeanor is family, or in any other way connected to other persons. Everyone stands in judgment for themselves.
§ 4 [Crimes and Misdemeanors] (1) Crimes are unlawfuls acts with a minimum punishment of at least one year of prison. If the crime perscribes Exile or Ascension, it is also a crime.

§ 9 [Exculpatory Circumstances] (1) A perpetrator who acts without the ability to understand the wrong they committed cannot be culpable for their actions.
(2) Without culpability is also who, at the time of the pernicious deed, is suffering from a pathological affliction of the mind or idiocy.
§ 9a [Exculpatory Circumstances — Justifications] (1) Whomsoever committs a crime or misdemeanor due to the need to fend off an unlawful assault does not act unlawful. If the perpetrator unreasonably exceeds the bounds of mere defence out of fear, confusion or terror, they cannot be culpable for it.
(2) A crime or misdemeanor is not culpable if it was committed to fend of a danger for body, mind, personal liberty, or property cannot be culpable if there was no means by which the situation could have been resolved otherwise and the act was necessary to avoid the danger.
