UAE High Court: Beat Your Wife, Just Don't Bruise Her

Published October 18, 2010

The highest court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ruled that a man is allowed to beat his wife and children as long as he does not leave bruises or other marks, local newspaper The National reported Monday.

"Although the [law] permits the husband to use his right [to discipline], he has to abide by the limits of this right," wrote Chief Justice Falah al Hajeri in a ruling issued this month and released in a court document Sunday.

The limit, as the court defines it, is physical evidence of a beating that takes the accepted punishment to a more severe level. According to Islamic law, the man of the house is permitted to use physical discipline against his family if admonishing them and abstaining from sex with his wife do not work.

Judges were forced to clarify the legal boundaries of beating after a UAE man slapped and kicked his daughter and wife, leaving bruises and facial injuries on them.

Bruises and other physical marks were evidence, the court said, that the man had abused his right to discipline. While many modern Islamic scholars and lawmakers denounce the practice of beating one’s family members, some maintain it is an appropriate response to a family problem

"If a wife committed something wrong, a husband can report her to police," Dr. Ahmed al Kubaisi, head of Sharia Studies at UAE and Baghdad Universities, said. "But sometimes she does not do a serious thing or he does not want to let others know, when it is not good for the family. In this case, hitting is a better option."

This is why you should always use a sack of oranges to beat your wife and children.

isn't the "rule of thumb" that you can beat you wife with a stick, as long as it's no thicker than your thumb?

I just use waterboarding at my house.

You mean we aren't supposed to be doing it here?

[krystar]

maybe he coulda gave his wife a timeout? made her go to her room w/o TV or video games?

[peppy]

I promised my MIL I would never strike my wife with a closed hand, and after 6 years I have been able to keep that promise.

I was working in a game room that was attached to a bingo hall when I got laid off several years back. The bingo hall had a place that made nachos, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc... snacks for the bingo folks. The snack place was staffed by Hispanic women. One night, after work, the women came in to play some of the games (essentially electronic slots) in the game room. After about an hour, a guy came in smelling strongly of beer. He *****ed at one of them and then left. I guess her husband was drunk and didn't want to wait for her. She sat there anyway. About 20-30 minutes later, he came in, I didn't see him, and went to where she was. I still couldn't see them because of the shape of the room. After a few seconds, I heard a bunch of squealing and yelling. Turns out he had hit her, I assume an open handed slap. Anyway, I grabbed the cop who was our acting security guard.

The cop said "Did you hit her?" Get this, you're going to love the guys answer.

"She's my wife."

Hahah, as you can imagine, that didn't go over very well, he went away and she sat back down and kept playing her game.

That sounds totally reasonable.

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?? Nothing you already told her twice...









FOR THE RECORD:
I think a man cannot stoop much lower after he hits a woman.
Wife beaters are barely good enough for scientific experiments, and should have their nutsack teared off ...

[rnln]

How about husband beaters?

[porsche4life]

I thought that was legal still in AR....
