[quote]Islam gave unprecedented respect to Muslim women and In fact in many ways Women are given higher degree of reverence as compared to men (e.g. Mothers as compared to Fathers), but we need to accept here that in a Family-life yet men are given sovereignty over their Women (“The Men are rulers over their women…. 34:4 Annisa). And though under specific evolving circumstances, yet men are given a right to BEAT his wife, whereupon, strictly avoiding any severe blow that could cause internal corporal injury. The Reason-of-revelation (Shaan-e-Nuzool) of the Verse 34:4 also is helpful in clarifying the subject further. "Once a companion Saad Bin Rabia’ (may Allah be pleased with him) slapped his wife Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the matter was reported to Rasoolullah’s (peace be upon him). Rasoolullah (peace be upon him) was about to give his verdict in favour of Wife, but, prior to that, Gabriel (peace be upon him) appeared and revealed this Verse “The Men are rulers over their women…..”, after this revelation Rasoolullah’s (peace be upon him) uttered that I wished something else and Allah (the exalted) ordered something else (Ibn-kathir)." Further, please read 44:38 (Suad): Here One of Allah’s apostle Ayub (peace be upon him) was ordered by Allah (the exalted) to beat his wife, tenderly though. Now a quote from Mr. Ghamdi, he says that the words used in Quran meant an interpretation that was classical in nature and was widely understandable for its famous (Ma'roof) meaning in the then Arab. And from that day onwards until today Arabs use the word "DARAB" for beating and not for revoking any given right to somebody, as Dr. Hina Khan (the moderator) mentions in her reply to the subject. Well, being sympathetic to Dr. Khan's meaning of DARAB (holding pocket money, limiting makeup…. etc.), I classify her derived meaning related to the stage where a Man is advised to banish (Wahjur) his wife from his bed, and strictly not to the stage where a man is advised to BEAT his wife. Besides, I'm not an expert of Arabic Grammar (Nahav) but just would like to notify that Horses and Camels are nouns but DARAB/Beat is a verb/action word. So, Dr. Khan is not right in drawing this analogy. What can be the right answer to the subject is that the Quranic order of beating a wife cannot be considered here as super imposing over the family laws of the State. And if State debars men from beating their Wives under any of the circumstances then one must obey its State’s regulations (Wa Allah A’lam, I’m not an expert in Islamic Jurisprudence-Fiqh, but just gave my opinion.
