[quote]>>the directive to admonish wives "lightly" as a last step is to act as a limit. My confusion lies elsewhere. If the crime is of a rebellious nature then there are three stages of punishment, which increase in harshness. First admonition. Then the harsher breaking off intimate relations and finally the harshest. Now punishment by siwak - literally a tooth cleaner looks quite absurd as the last stage of punishment. But if it is actually a cane, then again we have a problem in that the directive would be barbaric. Either way there is a problem. And if it is a suggestion as has been argued then it does not help either given the excesses to which this suggestion has been misused in many Islamic countries. Finally, it could be that this directive is time specific and hence in this day and age irrelevant. For admonition can most certainly be replaced by marriage counselling/psychotherapy.[/quote]
