The Expiation of a Woman Coerced into Intercourse in Ramadan and Making Up the Fast

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman is forced into intercourse in Ramadan, is the expiation required of her or not?

Answer:
No, the one who is forced is not liable for anything; the sin and the expiation are upon her husband who forced her. She is not liable for anything, neither making up the fast nor expiation, because she was forced and had no choice. If someone were to hold a fasting person and force water into his stomach, he would not be held accountable. Yes, provided it is established that she was forced. If she was not forced, then the expiation and making up the fast are upon her. Yes.
