What benefits under the law apply to parents who kill their daughter’s seducer under exceptional circumstances?
These rules, granting the penalty of destierro or exemption from punishment, are applicable to parents concerning their daughters and the daughter’s seducer (Article 247, Revised Penal Code). The daughter must be under eighteen years of age, and she must be living with her parents at the time of the incident. This provision extends the protective mechanism of the law to parents defending their minor daughter’s honor under these strict circumstances.
