Re: To set the record straight: the wife must obey her husband

I just got a translation of whole verse. It is not good idea to translate a bit of verse. lets read whole verse completely.

Ch # 4, Verse 34
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allâh orders them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband’s property). As to those women on whose part you see ill¬conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High, Most Great

I don’t know about this beating part being rightly translated. I am FULLY AGAINST any physical violence. If a man wants to fight, pick someone of your own size.
