أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِامْرَأَةٍ بِكْرٍ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهَا زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَنَظَرْنَ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْنَ هِيَ عَذْرَاءُ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَضْرِبَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا خَاتَمٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَانَ يُجِيزُ ع شَهَادَةَ النِّسَاءِ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali, Alayhi al-Salam, issued a judgment. It was in the case of a virgin woman who was accused of fornication. He (the Imam) commanded certain women to examine her. They reported about her to be a virgin. He (the Imam) issued a judgment that said, ‘I am not to penalize one on whom Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has placed a seal. 5 He (the Imam) accepted the testimony of women in such cases.”
