Hendrick Hamel wrote in 1666<br><br>
A woman, who kills her husband, is buried alongside a road on which a lot
of people pass, in a way that only her head sticks out of the ground.
Next to her they put a wooden saw, with which everybody who passes her,
except the nobility, has to saw one time on her head, until she dies.
<br><br>
A man who kills his wife goes freely if he can proof that he had a good
reason for that, for instance adultery or having failed in her marital
duties. A man, who kills a female slave, has to pay to the owner of the
female slave, three times the value. <br><br>
The beating of the buttocks takes place as follows: The condemned has to
lower his pants and lie face down. Sometimes he has to lay face down on a
bench, at which he is tied. For moral reasons the women can keep up their
pants. These are wetted to feel the blows better. For the beating sticks
are being used which are five feet long, round at the top and one hand
wide at the bottom and of a little finger's thickness. A hundred beatings
mean the death of the condemned. <br><br>
Doesn't look to me that women were treated more lenient. <br><br>
