Primary text

The *diyah* for their women is half of their respective men's *diyah*. There is no known dispute on this matter. Scholars have reached consensus that the *diyah* for a woman is half that of a man. Since the *diyah* for Muslim women is half that of Muslim men, similarly, the *diyah* for women of the People of the Book is half that of their men.
