Question 773) - Give some examples of defects which permit a return of the goods by the buyer.

A: A slave who runs away or urinates in the bed. A child who steals is defective, once he attains puberty it is no longer a valid defect. A slave girl who sweats and stinks. That is not a defect for a slave unless due to an illness. Fornication and being illegitimate are defects in slave-girls not slaves.
