Final answer:

In Jewish law, a woman would not receive a penalty or fine if she is unable to perform a commandment such as candle lighting due to forced circumstances.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is regarding the Jewish law and traditions, specifically relating to the concept of a קנס (penalty or fine) as it pertains to the inability to perform a mitzvah (commandment) due to forced circumstances. In Jewish law, there is a principle that 'Ones Rachmana Patrei' which means that the Merciful One (God) exempts in the case of coercion. Therefore, if a woman is in a situation where she is unable to light candles, for example, due to forced circumstances beyond her control, she would not incur a penalty or fine according to Halacha (Jewish law).
