The punishment for breaking the peace differed by action and when it happened.

Before, when a man broke the peace during the Peace of Ani (The Week of Peace), they would drag a man on the ground to death.

When Okonkwo beats his wife during the Peace of Ani, he is commanded to sacrifice one she-goat, one hen, a length of cloth and a hundred cowries.
