Islamic Court, Wife Beating: UAE (United Arab Emirates) Federal Supreme Court Okay if Leaves No Physical Marks

UAE Islamic Court, Wife Beating: United Arab Emirates Federal Supreme Court Okay if Leaves No Physical Marks (Cuts & Bruises)

The United Arab Emirates Federal Supreme Court has given official permission for men to beat their wives in line with Islamic tradition. A man may beat his wife and young children as long as the beating leaves no physical marks. This follows on the heels of prominent Islamic scholars who have voiced similar opinions. It might be pointed out that even in Western society wife beating was legal in some circumstances and locations in the United States for example until explicitly outlawed in 1870. The UAE ruling specifies that no physical marks may be left, though this leaves open questions of the degree that this entails. This is in contrast to a UAE case in which a man who left cuts & bruises on wife & adult daughter which was ruled criminal, specifically “guilty of harming” the women, but not of the disciplinary action itself.

In Africa in certain countries, witch hunting is just another thing. They throw the women accused of witchcraft into a pit filled with hay and turn them on fire and watch them burn alive.

United States is not invading Africa and there aren't "spreading democracy" there.

In Papua New Guinea, cannibalism is still around. Sometimes they eat the recently deceased.

United States is not invading New Guinea, to spread democracy.

In Cambodia, there is an ongoing war against Thailand, where schools are torched along with the students because they "represent the Thai government".

United States in not invading Cambodia to spread democracy.

The United Arab Emirates, along with Saudi Arabia are considered "friendly" with USA, even Bush had a nice tongue kiss with the Saudi ruler back in 2003.

How ironic.

The only reason you continue to post issues related to the Middle East is because of your hatred against Muslims, it has little to do with human rights violation or anything like that, it's just easy to pick on an issue such as their law system, which is flawed by all means, but I doubt you really care about Arab women's human rights anyway, since they are "Muslims", just like the men there, so I really doubt that you care at all anyway, so it's good to selectively find news about the Muslims, because it's alien to you and you are just afraid. Make sure you check under your bed before you go to sleep, there might be a Muslim hiding there trying to kill you.



This is about hatred???What a cop out statement!The fact that Willing started this post to begin with shows he is concerned about the fact that women are being beaten and wants things changed.Before you take action on issues such as these you first have the make the public aware that they are happening.The fact you are using third world countries laws in defending this practice doesn't justify anything.I don't think men should be allowed to beat their women anywhere in the world for any reason.I don't want to play big brother police man for the world but I can speak my voice and opposition for this practice and tell the world I don't support it.

I'm sure I speak for everyone who is against this beating law when I say if someone wanted to ban this practice I would gladly vote for it along with banning Sharia law no matter what country it is practiced.That is taking action and thanks to people like Willing we are aware of laws such as Sharia and what they are about.

These issues don't have anything to do with spreading Democracy.They are about what is right and wrong.Treating women like garbage and beating them for any excuse is wrong.The fact that Islam is the main driving force for these laws is stupid to ignore.


I can only imagine how those women feel under Islamic law in third world countries who have the privilege of a computer and internet.How sad it must be for them to read statements from Americans saying beatings should be allowed because you are there and we are here.Seems Republican Christians are their best hope because Atheist,liberal,Democrats sure the hell aren't even going to bring the issue to light.They want to bury it.

This entire thread disgusts me. no woman wants to be beaten or abused. no woman is responsible for the behavior of a man that does such a thing. no one/no woman deserves to be beaten or abused. abusers should be jailed as lowest life forms. Agencies that attempt to minimize the consequences or the reports of abuse that come to them should lose their funding. immediately.

at least in this country violence and abuse of women is illegal. The UAR needs to suffer worldwide economic boycott until violence - all violence - against women is criminal. The overwhelming violence against women that is still tolerated and under reported in this country should have all the guys on here seriously thinking about trying to understand some of the cautions and issues women have before jumping up to express your nice guy innocence- have you ever criticized a woman to gain control of her, or pushed her out of the way, or told her she wasn't capable of something becasue shes' a woman. No? Good. because those are all examples of abuse that will only escalate and get worse with time (ladies) The violence against women in this country is overwhelming. the men on here may not be those men, I hope not. but the violence against women cannot be denied - cannot be minimized - cannot be excused.

Every woman, whether she admits it or not, goes into every first meeting hoping (somewhere in the back of her mind) that the guy isnt a beater. Me? - I obtained hands that r licsenced... as for the comment below- only a total azzhl would say something like that - even as a joke.

sorry, sweetest, but my whole point of saying that was because i was a little miffed that some women here seems to think it is ok for these men to beat their wives... did not mean to offend you

there are all types of relationships, if she is foolish enough not to mind being hit with a phone book(didnt know that doesnt leave marks, seems like it would),, than thats on her dude

so it is the woman's fault? is that what your saying? someone who is scared and dosn't know what to do for fear of getting beat more?
i won't argue that some women actually want that, but i feel that most don't... when one person gets inside anothers head, the damage can be severe... so a lot of these women may want the help, but do not know how to reach for it without getting hurt.



I agree, but if its a consentual relationship( I think some here are confusing fear or inaction with consent), I really cant get too upset about it,,,

thats a bit personal, I will just say, although I would never condone a punch or an all out assault, I have had partners with whom I understood things would occasionally be 'rough'

never caused me hospitalization or bruises though, as I said , one persons aggressive play is anothers discipline and yet anothers abuse,, its about personal tolerance and it should remain a personal choice,,,

I believe there are numerous subcultures of the Islamic faith. I know a few muslim women and they are not at all upset with their 'role'. i do feel for women in truly abusive relationships whatever culture they are a part of. But I just dont necessarily see consentual submission or even discipline as a terrible thing.

at least in this country violence and abuse of women is illegal. The UAR needs to suffer worldwide economic boycott until violence - all violence - against women is criminal. The overwhelming violence against women that is still tolerated and under reported in this country should have all the guys on here seriously thinking about trying to understand some of the cautions and issues women have before jumping up to express your nice guy innocence- have you ever criticized a woman to gain control of her, or pushed her out of the way, or told her she wasn't capable of something becasue shes' a woman. No? Good. because those are all examples of abuse that will only escalate and get worse with time (ladies) The violence against women in this country is overwhelming. the men on here may not be those men, I hope not. but the violence against women cannot be denied - cannot be minimized - cannot be excused.

Every woman, whether she admits it or not, goes into every first meeting hoping (somewhere in the back of her mind) that the guy isnt a beater. Me? - I obtained hands that r licsenced... as for the comment below- only a total azzhl would say something like that - even as a joke.
*********************************************************************

there are all types of relationships, if she is foolish enough not to mind being hit with a phone book(didnt know that doesnt leave marks, seems like it would),, than thats on her dude

so it is the woman's fault? is that what your saying? someone who is scared and dosn't know what to do for fear of getting beat more?
i won't argue that some women actually want that, but i feel that most don't... when one person gets inside anothers head, the damage can be severe... so a lot of these women may want the help, but do not know how to reach for it without getting hurt.



I agree, but if its a consentual relationship( I think some here are confusing fear or inaction with consent), I really cant get too upset about it,,,


think about it like this ... if you are in a place where it is legal, who can you turn to for help? they are treated worse than slaves, and totally subservient to men... they can get beat them more just for the woman asking him to stop...


I believe there are numerous subcultures of the Islamic faith. I know a few muslim women and they are not at all upset with their 'role'. i do feel for women in truly abusive relationships whatever culture they are a part of. But I just dont necessarily see consensual submission or even discipline as a terrible thing.
sorry, i am just failing to see the "consensual" part in this... the only choice in the matter they have is to submit or get whipped...

and? I was spanked as a child, if it is a culture which places an authoritarian role on the male, as our culture does on the parents, I dont see the difference or the reason to be apalled UNLESS it is truly ABUSIVE (beating, punching, kicking,, etc,,,)

as someone else posted, the ruling didnt give permission to do anything so extreme it would leave marks,,,which leaves alot of disciplinary options that I dont consider ABUSIVE

So if you were in a relationship with a man and he started hitting and slapping you for any number of reasons you would be ok with it?



thats a bit personal, I will just say, although I would never condone a punch or an all out assault, I have had partners with whom I understood things would occasionally be 'rough'

never caused me hospitalization or bruises though, as I said , one persons aggressive play is anothers discipline and yet anothers abuse,, its about personal tolerance and it should remain a personal choice,,,

imho



I don't think too many women would agree that getting beat by their husbands was a good form of discipline much like the millions of children that were beat when they were little.If they do think they should get slapped around they probably have a wide variety of mental problems as any person who deals in Domestic violence will tell you.I think most experts will also tell you that Domestic violence nearly always progresses to more and more abuse that gets more violent as time goes by until the woman is getting used like a punching bag.

But this whole issue isn't about choice since we are talking about men beating their wives for any reason despite if the woman agrees with it or not.Furthermore since Islamic women in third world countries often wear full length dresses and head to toe Burqas a man could beat their women black and blue except the face and nobody is going to see it.

ok. I dont condone abuse, but I do condone letting others make their own STANDARDS for what forms of discipline they will use so long as it doesnt result in physical harm,,,,

of course its not sane to consent to someone beating the tar out of ya, but it is perfectly sane to use physical discipline which does NOT result in permanent harm

Nice insight.I remember when I was a child getting slapped on the side of the head with a belt,things thrown at me,and called names.I can tell you first hand those things did leave permanent psychological harm that will never leave me.I speak out against these idiotic laws because I know what it is like to get beat for simply getting in someones way when they were in a bad mood.

that means you felt ABUSED(rightly so if you were hit in the head and called names, I never was), but I did not,,,,which is a matter of PERSPECTIVE

only thing I would change in Islamic subcultures is the threat of violence against those who dont choose to accept it as their birthright, I would wish for the culture to be more truly voluntary, but I think many westerners ASSUME that women there want to be more 'free'(by our standards) when I feel its logical that many muslim women are quite happy with the standards they have known and grown up with,,,


and I cringe when we, or anyone else, try to define those standards for them and make western life the and western culture some IDEAL that they should be striving for

I think history concerning womens rights around the world will tell you that women never resort to having less rights,less freedoms,and less dignity once they get more rights.What kind of stupid person would?All those women in Iraq certainly don't want the life they had before where the only job they could hold is that of a school teacher.No voting rights?you think they want that back again?

All those sad women living under a Burqa would give anything to live the life of a American women.

IMPACT ON CHILDREN

According to the Family Violence Prevention Fund, "growing up in a violent home may be a terrifying and traumatic experience that can affect every aspect of a child's life, growth and development. . . . children who have been exposed to family violence suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as bed-wetting or nightmares, and were at greater risk than their peers of having allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal problems, headaches and flu." In addition, women who experience physcial abuse as children are at a greater risk of victimization as adults, and men have a far greater (more than double) likelihood of perpetrating abuse.



Interesting as I grew up in a violent home and have gastrointestinal problems. =O
