Beating up ur wife :)

[Sannan]

@ujji

exactly, i can’t find the other half of the knowledge, thats why i wanted to ask if anyone knows about where i can find those details. i am not generally asking about which religion gives most rights to women, i am not asking if its a good thing or a bad thing or if a husband should or should not beat his wife, i am only asking about what the Quran says about it, and what it chose not to say about it. And yes i’m sure there are women who beat their hubbys but i don’t think that has anything to do with the Quran. And yes, i realize that a husband is not supposed to beat his wife if she obeys him and that there are several stages before he is allowed to resort to light beating. I also realize that Islam is supposed to sympathize with the weak and helpless.

But what i am very specifically asking is that whereas the Quran makes it a point of supporting the ‘stronger’ sex (men) by prescribing a punishment for their wives, why does it not protect the ‘weaker’ sex (women) by prescribing a punishment for their husbands? or if it does prescribe a punishment for men too, could someone pls let me know where in the Quran this would be written?

Have you read the Deeba post ???
