The beating wives is a very common issue in Islamic and non-Islamic worlds. Whether it is east or west this problem is very common. Many reasons for these are psychological illness, trauma, tensions, stress and depression.

Many men like the adrenaline rush they feel after beating their wives. In the east most women think that it’s obligatory for a husband to beat the wife as in tradition, and most of the time they don’t complain.

Whereas in the west, wives do complain and they take the matter to the police and courts, in most of the cases the husbands are jailed or they are charged with heavy fines.  The western world thinks that Islam is a religion, which is against women’s rights. They think that Islam has given them inferior rights and the cases of women and wife abuse are highest in the eastern world.

This all is false except for the fact that cases of wife abuse are high in the east. The reasons for this are that most people are illiterate and they have incomplete knowledge about religion. In reality Islam doesn’t permit the beating wives.

The Holy Quran is the book containing Allah Subhana Wa Taallah revelation, nowhere in the Quran it is mentioned to beat a wife. Neither has the Prophet Muhammad Sallalaho Alayhi Wasalam encouraged the beating of wives. In Islam, women and men are same; they have been given the same rights except by a few. Those few rights are different because men and women are different in genders. The Quran and Hadith tell us that women should be treated with gentleness and kindness, whether it is a wife,
sister, mother or a daughter.

Allah Subhana wa Tallah has given the men more strength than women.

This is because men are supposed to protect their women and be their maintainers. And if a wife is disloyal then the man should
only admonish them, then should not sleep in their beds and then just tap them lightly. Islam doesn’t allow the beating  wives.

Prophet Muhammad Sallalaho Alayhi Wasalam himself addressed many men not to beat their wives, those wives who visit him complaining about their husband’s beatings, the Prophet used to say that those men are not good for them.

Islam has given the rights to the women who are continually abused by their husbands to be separated from them, and if the situation continues then they could have a divorce. Most of people consider that Islam forces severe restrictions for women, but this is wrong..
