Castigo por ter violado uma mulher através da amputação do pénis numa tribo àrabe do Yemen
Amputation of the penis and castration were the common penalties for male homosexual behavior as well.
Towards
the end of the eighteenth century castration was revived as a penalty
by Thomas Jefferson. Section XIV of Jefferson's comments stem from "A
Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments" reads as follows:
"Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy with man or
woman, shall be punished; if a man, by castration, a woman, by boring
through the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch in diameter at
the least."
