Husband Jailed & flogged for slapping wife for impoliteness to relatives

[Predator]

Seems to be a one off case. Never heard about it .

Is there any such ruling in KSA and is it gender neutral ? Will the woman be flogged if she did the same ?

He deserves it, he shouldn't have hit his wife, and I would think yes she would be flogged too since they flog women also. Also the husband is stronger and hits harder so I would think less punishment but still flogged nonetheless
Prophet Muhammad (saw) didn't hit his wives and he said to be kind to your wives so we should follow the Sunnah

Oh yea there is a hadith that says you cant hit any1 in the face and you cant beat your wives either

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said "Do not hit the face and do not disfigure"


Al Bukhari and Muslim narrated that the Prophet:saws1: said: "He who slaps his cheeks, tears his clothes and follows the ways and traditions of the Days of Ignorance is not one of us."

He needs to be slapped 200 times, spit in the face then thrown in jail!! I don't know where this male superiority complex comes from, it's not religion because it's everywhere!! disgusting!!


Who cares if she's impolite?? boo hoo.. cry me a river.

looks like he got more punishment than he deserved . Only one slap and in return he got " 10 days in prison and 30 lashes.

I wonder , what's the basis of the punishment ? One lash should be enough for one slap .

I think this punishment is valid, but i think his wife should also have some sort of punishment for bad mouthing him all the time, then ofcourse its understandable he flips one day. He stated that she was impatient with him, probably arguing all the time. Husband should have more patience while arguing and control his anger.

Men and women dont know their roles anymore to make a married life good.

[Perseveranze]

It would be ta'zir and done at the judges discretion. The Qadi would've believed this punishment was enough of a deterrent against the man and others like him from doing the act again. Max he could give in ta'zir is around 40 lashes, so he gave 30 instead.

Still seems a bit harsh, because I've seen scholars mention that in such cases where husbands transgress limits against their wives, the wife should be entitled to divorce and Qisas (ie. in this context, slap the person back in the same way they done to them). Of course, we don't know the details of the case, so we really can't say much about it.

And no, there's no guarantee that a woman would get the same punishment.

Salam alaykum

Maybe both of them should punish by some lecture about islamic behavior?

No need to speak rude, behavior rude or hit anyone.

What that sounds?

What do you mean who cares if she's impolite ? Islam teaches us not to treat parents kindly and not repulse them .I suppose you will enjoy it if some one insults your parents .Freaking troll

That's probably why she got slapped in the first place.

Which is what got him that type of punishment I'm sure he will now think twice before putting his hands on her.

And the woman doesnt get anything for disrespecting his family?

Couldn't agree more. Our religion gave both male and female equal roles to play, if we were to stick to it, marriage would be far smoother. And disagreements could be settled properly.

[UmmuShaheed]

Of course she should neither parties are innocent but slapping someone in the face is out of the question.

Everyone's parents are dear to them, so when they get disrespected naturally we get angry.
He had a right to be upset with his wife, but he could have handled it differently.
Allahu 3alam.

True that. But your post sounded like another attempt to victimize women hence i replied on it like that, sorry for my suspicion. forgive me.

Yeah but had she not been rude he would not have slapped her. Based upon the information provided by the article she started it.

He should divorce her and get a better wife.

I don't need to. The main blame falls her on.

With marriage, it doesn't always have to be about who started this or that.
As a Muslim husband, he's responsible (just as much as she is) to keep the marriage in tact. By blaming and being rude and violent towards one another not only is it wrong it never solves any issues.
Neither one of them were innocent.
And Allah knows best.

I have came to my conclusion from reading the information on the article. She was rude. Then he slapped her. If she was not rude he would not have slapped her. So the main blame falls on her. His response was disproportionate.

How about just walking away instead of slapping? Lots of people close to you are going to annoy you, doesnt mean you resort to slap. So I dont feel sorry for the man at all.

Exactly. Slapping shouldn't be an option

Nor being rude is acceptable.

Agreed, for BOTH husband and wife.

I meant in the context of this thread. Everyone seems to want her head on a silver platter... If someone is rude, you correct them... hitting someone is not the correct response to it. That's called domestic abuse.

Is not being rude some sort of abuse?

Yeah but which is heavier on the scale and has more dire consequences?

That depends on the individual. Some are more sensitive to physical abuse while others are more sensitive to verbal abuse.

Abuse against the wife is just as bad as against the husband.

Have someone you actually care for hit you in the face with a bat then have them call you a bad name. After that, come and tell me which one hurts the most and is worst. :p lol

Your are so simple minded.

Most people are able to recover from physical beatings. The pain is only short-term. However verbal abuse is far worse in the long-term.

I understand that but the article says she was simply rude, you nor I knows what happened.. being rude and abusive are 2 completely different things. I could interrupt someone who is speaking, that is rude. Telling them they are a worthless piece of garbage is abusive.

Seeing as this article is very brief, and members are making assumptions about the individuals in the story which may/may not be correct, I'm going to close this thread to prevent us saying anything wrong about them, and so that members don't argue over something based on that.
