Question

She tore her friend's dress in the middle of dancing, is she liable?

Answer

She is exempt because it was due to joy (Choshen Mishpat 378), and also because they harmed each other (as stated in Bava Kamma, exempt because it is not customary for people to pay attention in such situations).

Bava Kamma 32, Choshen Mishpat, Siman 378
