Some clarify something to me please...Is it in the Quran, that a man has been given permission to beat his wife? If she does not listen the first or second and third time, the husband can beat her and also put her out of his bed? In many occasions, if the food is not cooked to his expectations, and also a number of other things that can cause the man to inflict a beating on her. But now tell me who beats the man when he does wrong? Men are free to do whatever. What kind of god allows this?

down with every crazy man who beats his wife. our prophet (saws) told us to treat our wives kindly.these ppl don represent islamic views.

@savvymariposa a loving God doesn't allow this...self-serving superstitious men allow this

That's the problem of needing a manual of instructions to live your life instead of using you logic. Thinking seems to be a really hard task for some people By the way I was talking about their husbands!!!!!!

May Allah (swt) protect them from what they are going through and give them more strength...this is not Islam by the way the familes that do this dont even know anything about islam. Islam teaches a man not to hit his wife...the ppl who are doing this dont even knw what islam is all about!
