Even cursing a person can lead to corporal punishment under Noahide Law: Book Review, The Rainbow Covenant

 TABLE OF CONTENTS


 Even cursing a person can lead to corporal punishment under Noahide Law:

In Israel's law, cursing is permitted only when prompted by pure motives, which ate selfless motives, and justified by the guilt — the reprehensible conduct — of the person being cursed. Sometimes some people, due to their crimes, deserve others' curses. But ordinatily, when a curse against a person is forbidden, a Torah court can impose no more than corporal, rather than capital, punishment. That level of penalty is revealing. (Dallen, 2003, p. 239)
