Bribery without Money

Among moral corruptions and major social disasters is bribery, which causes wickedness, injustice, violating other peopleʹs rights, and an atmosphere of distrust in the society. Bribery can appear in the form of paying money, doing something, or saying something. The prevailing opinion of jurists is that bribery is actualized through paying money. But the question is that whether acts and words can play the same role. Some jurists have generalized the concepts of bribery and some have not, while the majority of them have said nothing in this regard. What is investigated and analyzed in this essay is generalization or otherwise of the bribery, opinions of supporting and denying jurists in this regard, and ultimately expression of the chosen theory as follows: Bribery without money is religiously forbidden, whether words or acts, but those two differ in civil and penal liability or otherwise.
