c10.s6.13

We may here conveniently deal with the law of civil imprisonment. When a creditor establishes his claim before the *qazi* and demands the imprisonment of his debtor, the *qazi* must not precipitately comply, but should first order the debtor to render the right. But if he neglects to comply with the decree and his capacity to discharge the debt is proved, then he must be imprisoned.
