A person who sinned under compulsion, God exempts from punishment
A person is exempt from responsibility for an act done under compulsion and against their will (from Aramaic: Anus — God exempts him from punishment).
("Why is he considered compelled? 'A person compelled by God is exempt,' as it is written (Deuteronomy 22) 'Do nothing to the girl' – Bava Kama 28b; and also: 'It is impossible to fulfill God’s commandments in a place of impurity, as our sages of blessed memory said: a person compelled by God is exempt' – Agnon / Ir U’meloa, 109; and also: 'All the advisors were of one opinion: a person compelled by God is exempt, and if the Jew truly lost all his property, he is exempt' – Mordechai ben Yehezkel / Sefer Hama’asiyot, Part Four, Hane’eman, 242)")
