I find it hard to understand why
Why does the Koran advocate beating women as a solution to family difficulties? Does it advocate this for men causing difficulties? I’m not sure. But I’d like to know.
An article in the Yemen Times titled ‘Why there must be violence against women‘: the author is protesting against human rights NGOs who say women who are beaten should complain to the police.
“This title may sound strange, but it’s actually not just a way to attract readers to the topic because I really do mean what it indicates. Violence is a broad term, especially when used regarding women. In this piece, I want to shed light on those instances where violence against women is a must.”"In some cases, violence is necessary, but there must be limits. Those “good human rights organizations” don’t make any exceptions in their solutions because their aim is to serve society. Will it be a better society once we see wives, mothers, sisters and daughters going from one police station and one court to another, complaining against their husbands, fathers, brothers and even sons?”
“If a daughter or sister makes a mistake – especially a moral one – that negatively affects the entire family and its reputation, what’s the solution by such organizations?”
Here’s a simple solution: don’t beat them! There, that wasn’t so hard, now, was it?
And yet… all in the name of religious and moral instruction.
