71 On The Third Offence
place ye a mark upon his brow so that, thus
identified, he may not be accepted in the cities of God and His countries
45
The mark to be placed on the thief's forehead serves the purpose of
warning people of his proclivities. All details concerning the nature of
the mark, how the mark is to be applied, how long it must be worn, on what
conditions it may be removed, as well as the seriousness of various
degrees of theft have been left by Baha'u'llah for the Universal House of
Justice to determine when the law is applied.
