Article 709 of the Islamic Penal Code (IPC) details the Diyeh for injuries to the head and face. To determine the Diyeh for such injuries, they are first defined based on Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), with a specific Diyeh assigned to each type. Nine types of injuries are defined across nine clauses of this article. Notably, in Clause (Kh), Damighah is defined as a "damage or injury," whereas other clauses do not utilize the term "damage" (Sadameh). Damighah is specifically described as "a damage or injury that ruptures the brain sac (meninges)..." According to the concluding part of this clause, the Diyeh for Damighah consists of the Diyeh for Ma’mumah plus an Arsh. The literal phrasing of Clause (suggests that Damighah is simply the rupture of the meninges. However, considering the definitions of other types of injuries (excluding Hashimah and Munaqqilah), a critical question arises: Is the mere rupture of the meninges sufficient for the realization of Damighah, or must the scalp and skull also be breached first? The inclusion of the term "damage" (Sadameh) has created a misconception that Damighah occurs even if the meninges are ruptured without an external wound. By examining the jurisprudential origins of this article and analyzing the linguistic structure of Article 709, this paper demonstrates that this misconception is incorrect. Damighah refers specifically to a wound that occurs on the head or face [reaching the brain sac]. Therefore, in cases where the meninges are ruptured without an accompanying external wound, the perpetrator is liable only for the Arsh of the ruptured meninges, rather than the full Diyeh of Damighah.
