Is a woman's burning of the car of the man who gave her a fatwa that she was his wife considered an injustice on her part, or does he deserve it, taking into account that no sexual intercourse occurred between them, but only words and glances, and that she still supplicates against him for harming her?

It is not clear what is meant by a man issuing a fatwa to a woman that she is his wife. If the man deceived the woman into believing he married her and enjoyed speaking and looking at her, then it is not permissible for her to burn his car. She is an aggressor and must guarantee compensation for what was damaged. The man's injustice towards her through deception permits her to supplicate against him to the extent of the injustice.
