Re: Is hitting ur wife allowed in Islam
it is terrible and frustrating, i have seen such cases, but consider it an azmaish where one has to make the right decision. culturally we are taught about sacrifice and compromise and the burden of that is very skewed and falls on women more. I suppose there are cases where ppl get involved talk some sense into the couple and life improves, but in cases when enough is enough, more serious decisions need to be made. They are not ideal and nither is the resulting situation indeal, but better than the status quo in such cases. it is tough on the women and kids, and many women make the sacrifice because they know how it is.
