[quote][quote]. . . . . Next, I quote from lughatul quran by Abdul mannan omar (based on lisan, taj and others):-. . . 
To heal, strike, propound as an example, put forth a parable, go, make a journey, travel, mix, avoid, take away, put a cover, shut, mention, state, propound, set forth, compare, liken, seek away, march on, set, impose, prevent, fight, traffic with anyone's property for a share in the profit, leave for sake, take away thing (with 'an).  Dzaraba  bi arjulihi:  He travelled,  Dzaraba al-ardza Without fi or with fi:  To travel.  Dzaraba fulanun al-gha'ita: to go to relieve the bowels , go to privy, go for earning livelihood.  La tudzrabu akbad al ibili illa ala thalathati masajida: la turkal fala yusaru ilaiha:  One must not ride to go but for three mosques. etc...For Dzaraba:-He set forth, coined, propounded, compared, gave, mentioned, traveled, took away, avoided (with 'an).. . .For Idzrib: -Strike, go, seek a way, march on.etc...[/quote]

[font=Arial[hl]]"Daraba" in Arabic means only to hit and strike.

When used alone as in the Quranic verse in question(like "Darabtuhu"/ "Udrubuhunna"], it has only this meaning.

However, if used with "ard" [land] it means "to travel" as in the Quran in various places (e.g.,2:273, 4:101, 5:106].

As a stand-alone verb it never means to travel or to abandon. . . . . . . .

To be double sure, I have just checked the most authoritative Arabic
dictionary, Lisan Al-'Arab, and it does not offer any such meaning for "daraba" used in the verse which, in any case, is qualified to "mild beating". There are many powers one enjoys but he never uses them and there is no question that now when women are educated and self-dependent, this would be required or even tolerated by women. They may even write down in their marriage contracts that their husbands will not use such powers against them like the talaq or polygamy provisions which a woman
can restrict. In case of talaq, she can even take this right in her own hands or make it conditional in whatever way she likes.
