An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

    Wrong, an assailant has a maximum of two eyes to lose, they could at most completely blind one victim or partially blind two victims before being rendered blind themselves, which would make it extremely difficult to take a third eye from anyone

    Not if retribution is purely transactional. It’s not like rape can be accidental, nor premeditated murder.
