Responsa for Moed Katan 25:4
א"ל תניתוה שדה שנתקווצה בשביעית תזרע למוצאי שביעית נטייבה או נדיירה לא תזרע למוצאי שביעית ואמר ר' יוסי בר חנינא נקטינן הטיבה ומת בנו זורעה אלמא לדידיה קנסו רבנן לבריה לא קנסו רבנן ה"נ לדידיה קנסו רבנן לבריה לא קנסו רבנן
and [on this Point] R'Jose B'Hanina said: 'We have it on tradition that one had well improved his field and died, his son may Sow it'. This shows that our Rabbis did [intend to] penalize him,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For clearing thorns by harrowing, manuring and hurdling cattle on the field, are not of the processes explicitly forbidden in Scripture (Lev. XXV, 1-5) ; and though some included even such 'secondary processes' under the Scriptural prohibition (cf. supra 3a) , the Rabbis did not press the penalty against the dead man's son.');"><sup>8</sup></span> but his son the Rabbis did not [intend to] penalize; here too, then, it is the man himself that they would penalize, but his son the Rabbis would not have penalized.
Teshuvot Maharam
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.
