Re: why do husbands verbally abuse thr wives?
One word idiocy. They learned this behavior from their dad or some other authority figure in the family. My research shows that in desi community it is mostly a learned trait they learn it from their dad , elder brother or whoever they observed treating their wives this way and nobody stopped it and accepted it as norm and played a part of silent observers of this abuse.
Now to Mall , please read my reply to your post.
It has nothing to do with Islam. Islam teaches men and women to treat everyone with respect. Islam consider controlling your anger as the biggest jihad.
This is how husband and wife are ordered in Quran to treat each other:
"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates(spouse) from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your hearts. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect." (Qur'an 30:21)
In the Qur'an, the marriage relationship is described as one with "tranquility," "love" and "mercy." Elsewhere in the Qur'an, husband and wife are described as "garments" for each other (2:187). Garments offer protection, comfort, modesty, and warmth. Above all, the Qur'an describes that the best garment is the "garment of God-consciousness-(taqwa)" (7:26).
Allah states, "Permitted for you, during the night of the fast, that you approach your wives. They are your garments, and you are their garments" [al-Baqarah; 187].
So Islam teaches husbands to cover their wives weaknesses and faults not make them zaleel in bharee mahfil.
Read your religion in details please before you blame religion for stupidity and idiocy of people. This is a perfect religion for human kind.
