The answer

The jurists have stipulated that damage resulting from striking a non-discerning minor necessitates compensation due to the presence of aggression. The assessment should be made after the wound has healed. If the wound does not result in any deficiency after healing, then there is no compensation. If compensation is obligatory, its assessment is referred to the judge. The guardian of the child must manage the money and dispose of it in the child's best interest until he reaches maturity and discretion. Caution must be exercised to avoid disciplining a child while angry.
