[quote][quote]Islam does not advocate the 'beating' of the wife.[/quote] 
[u]Pickthal's Quran Translation[/u]

4:34.  Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and [b]SCOURGE[/b] them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.

[u]Shakir's Quran Translation[/u]

4:34.  Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and [b]BEAT[/b]  them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

[u]Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation[/u]

4:34.  Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) [b]BEAT[/b] them; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all).

Every other translation use meaning of ‘Daraba’ here to [b]‘BEAT’.[/b] Pickthal means to [b]‘SCOURGE’.[/b]

If you mean or interpret otherwise then, it is absurd, whimful and wishful.[/quote]
