[quote][quote] I am still not clear about men hitting women, though like a slap on the wrist like a child. Two issues, what good would that do. [/quote]
br waseem,
plz have a look on the below link,its an opinion:
{According to some Muslim scholars, the word in verse 4:34, "idribuhunna", is derived from "daraba" which could mean "beat". In Arabic, like many other words, words that are derived from the word "daraba" do not necessarily mean "hit". The word "idribuhunna" for instance, could very well mean to "leave" them. It is exactly like telling someone to "beat it" or "drop it" in English. The word "daraba" occurs in:- 
"Seest thou not how Allah sets (daraba) forth a parable? -- A goodly Word Like a goodly tree, Whose root is firmly fixed, And its branches (reach) To the heavens". Quran 14:24

Here, "daraba" means "give an example". The word "darabtum", which is also derived from the word "daraba" is found in Quran 4:94, where it means to "go abroad" for the sake of Allah Almighty.

No matter, whether 4:34 is really 100% correctly translated as "beat them" or not, I want to know whether "dharaba" can also have other meanings, such as "seperate", "go away", "leave", "give", etc.? }
