Why a husband in Islam,can beat his wife?

Tell the non believers that an women can also hit their husbands if their husband mistreat their wives...

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah 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 Allaah and to their husbands), and guard in the husband’s absence what Allaah order them to guard (e.g., their chastity, their husband’s property, etc.). As to those women on whose part you fear 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, Allaah is Ever Most High, Most Great.” [al-Nisaa’ 4:34]

Islam the protector of women..Allah says this to both women and men.... women can do this to their husbands..

There is no doubt that Islam advocates "beating" of the wife after the prior two steps. But what most people are ignorant of, or tend to ignore, is the Hadeeth whereby the Prophet (S) explained to the Companions how to carry this out. He took a miswak and struck it; that was it.

But the truth is, the burden is upon the husband it maintain a good relationship with his wife. I have a good friend, who is really good to his wife. One day, driving home with his wife he was pretty irritated. He pulled the gear shift hard, and just because of that, since his wife never saw him angry before, she began crying.

He achieved that level of protection as stated in the verse.

There is this obedience thing that I find a bit disturbing - okay, I get the deal that the husband protects his wife, and that the wife should be modest and listen to her husband, it's a given in any adult relationship that partners listen to each other and consider each other's wishes. But adding obedience into the mix suggests that the wife is little better than a child, and also suggests that there is an inequality in the relationship.

As regards beating your wife for disobedience - sorry lads. I don't condone beating anybody when you're annoyed with them, because you're annoyed with them. Then chances are you'll hit harder than you mean to, which means that there is a greater likelihood of injuring them.

don't say that there r soft beatings:P, well, how whould a woman know what unfaithfull is if she's not even allowd to enter a muslim church, and I'm a western ( whell European) and I'm not a sex object:P, many times women got killed because they spent time with a man( who is not a part of the family) and didn't discuss this with the family in the same room( I repeat, they only spent time). She was killed by a member of her family, whatever the caes is women shoudn't be ruled by men and they should get the respect that they also can go to church

Since according to Islam any hitting is to leave no blemish then I don't consider that to be beating. However, I don't think any man has any right to lay his hands on a woman, whether she is his wife or not, as a means of disciplining her. That is treating her as property rather than as a life partner.

Husband's morning surprise?

Cos Mohammed was a man

Nuff said

Please read the quoted Ayah again. I do not find that it is addressed to 'husbands' and gives them an authority over 'wives' to inflict a punishment for very objectionable behavior on the part of married women in society. for 'beat them' the Arabic word is 'Zaraba'. It has meanings other than 'beating'. This Ayah , hence, is a theological advice to Theologians.

In Sean Connery-lam, men can hit their wives, preferably with an open hand, if the situation merits it.

To all of you guys patting yourselves on the backs, who gives a damn?

I read it in hindi so translator translates the last wordings " beat them but no bleeding or no bone breaking " .. that is exceptional case .. nobody is doing such things now days. better to sit and understand each other if both are educated and know how to respect others. but illitrates no other source i think.
