The Zakon provides instructions for maximum punishments, although Zakon courts are allowed and sometimes encouraged to give lighter sentences.

Zakon Law is the law of the Transformatsiya religion. It is primarily applied in autonomous zones and recently "liberated" territories. Merikan republicanism is considered an aspect of the Zakon, although most conservative and mixed political demographic areas do not properly enforce Zakon Law. The Zakon provides instructions for maximum punishments, although Zakon courts are allowed and sometimes encouraged to give lighter sentences. Despite recommendations for forgiveness and mercy, Tanisha warned that lack of justice results in the breakdown of order.
Life-coaching system
Zakon Law describes for the previous system of prisons to be "abolished" and replaced with a "life-coaching" system. In-patient treatment is conducted in institutions, primarily the Inklag or "hatchery camp." Out-patient treatment is equivalent to supervised release and requires regular engagement with the life-coaching process.
Marriage
Polygamy is generally forbidden, although local religious leaders can allow it in certain situations if there is a gender imbalance or if it's necessary to prevent women from partnering with low status men. In such situations, men can have up to four wives, with each marriage approved by a local religious leader.
Zakon law forbids alimony or any other benefit of marriage after divorce.
Crimes
Murder
Murder, in the absence of any mitigating circumstances, should be punished by death.
Slavery
The sale or ownership of any slave who is not serving a sentence of life-coaching is forbidden. Anyone involved with the unlawful sale or ownership of slaves must be severely punished.
Abortion
Tanisha stated that the only scientific definition for the beginning of life is conception, although there have been People of God who believed that ensoulment started at a later date. Methods of abortion that kill the child have been universally illegal since the early days of Transformatsiya. Non fatal abortion methods are available from the moment of conception.
If non fatal abortion is not available in a case of danger to the life of the mother, any woman who becomes a martyr for her unborn child will be generously rewarded in paradise.
Resulting in the death of the child
Any successful abortion that results in the death of the child must be punished by the death of everyone involved.
Fatal abortions are always considered apostasy.
Not resulting in the death of the child
While the technology exists to have a non deadly abortion from the moment of conception, it is considered deeply misogynistic and elective abortions are forbidden by the Zakon. The penalty is religious and "feminist" education during a period of life-coaching. It is recommended that this sentence be served without incarceration, although repeated and unrepentant offenders may be sentenced to incarceration, especially if they are unbelievers.
Larceny
Tanisha instructed that all theft must be punished "severely" and gave examples from Mosaic and Sharia Law. She also gave warnings about how Satanic Merikans destroyed their cities by being soft on theft.
All larceny must be punished by a period of in-patient life-coaching and a minimum of six months of out-patient life-coaching. Early release is only permitted in cases of religious transition.
Repeat offenders and thieves of large amounts of value must be punished by long periods of in-patient life-coaching.
Blasphemy
Blasphemy must be punished by a period of out-patient life-coaching.
The issue is complicated because many acts that would normally be considered blasphemy are part of religious rituals. Blasphemy prosecutions are most commonly used against unbelievers.
It is a common belief that many people who blaspheme against Tanisha or Transformatsiya suffer from spiritual dysphoria and are in denial, so they should not be punished. In many cases, persecutions for blasphemy are intentionally dismissed out of compassion as part of the Christian influence on the religion.
Transphobia
Transphobia is considered blasphemy against the final and most sacred prophet Tanisha. Long sentences in the Inklag are allowed.
Apostasy
Apostates can be punished by incarceration. It is also recommended that they receive an indefinite penalty until they return to a religion of God or Transformatsiya. An indefinite period of out-patient life-coaching requires a felony conviction, so many apostates are convicted felons.
Causing the apostasy of a Transformer or other Person of God, not transitioning Transformatsiya, is considered the same as apostasy with the recommendation of a more severe penalty then the apostate and a sentence of in-patient life-coaching before supervised release.
Attempting to cause apostasy of Transformers or other people of God, not to Transformatsiya, has a recommended punishment.
Disbelief
Anyone who does not believe in God the creator may be sentenced to life-coaching or summarily entered into the conservatorship of the PKVD.
