Teshuvot Maharam
Q. How can married women who turned informers be punished?
A. All punishments for sin prescribed by the Torah are applicable to women as well as to men. Therefore, a ban of excommunication may be put upon women informers. If they possess property over which their husbands exercise no rights, the injured party may collect damages from such property. He may also collect damages from their Niksei Melug [a wife's property, the income of which belongs to the husband although he is not responsible for the loss of the property itself] which may immediately be transferred to the claimant. The husband, however, will continue to reap the income of such property until his death or the death of his wife (whichever comes first) or until they are divorced.
SOURCES: Pr. 599; Mord. B. K. 90–1; Agudah B. K. 105.
