The self-proclaimed prophet of Baha’ism has appointed paying 9 methqal gold to the universal house of justice in his book “the Aqdas”:

That is; in this case, the person mustn’t pay anything to the universal house of justice: “Nevertheless; concerning adultery issue, it is stated about single people not the married ones. Concerning married ones refer to the universal house of justice.[2]”
However, it is really surprising that the Baha’i leaders have ruled for a person who robs something to be imprisoned, exiled and branded on his/her forehead[3] while concerning adultery paying 9 methqals gold to the universal house of justice is enough!

Of course, issuing such commandments may not be surprising to be issued by the leaders who are teaching dastardliness, not being prejudiced with homeland and chastity.
