In Jewish ritual law '''''Zavahzavah''''' (Hebrew זבה) is a state of [[tumah and taharah|ritual impurity]] applicable to females arising from vaginal blood discharges not during the usually anticipated [[menstrual cycle]].
 
In the realm of [[tumah and taharah]], the ''zavah'' has the ability to create a [[midras]], ({{bibleverse||Leviticus|15:4|}}, {{bibleverse||Leviticus|15:9|}}, {{bibleverse||Leviticus|15:26|}} and to make unclean for a seven-day period - a man who conducts sexual intercourse with her. Additionally, the ''zavah'' woman and her partner are liable to ''[[kareth]]'' for willfully engaging in forbidden sexual intercourse.
