[quote]AOA,
Brother Waseem you said:
"certain verses of Qur'an were specific for certain occasions"
Brother I am afraid, that's not what i meant. I will give my point of view on this issues now:
Stance of Quran on Family Institution
This issue is related to institution of family. Although single human form the building block of humanity, the building block of society is a family. The whole evolution of a person from new born to old age requires this institution and in my opinion this is one of the very basic requirements of the humans.

Man and women start this institution by marrying each other. Now like with every other institution, this institution also requires certain responsibilities on individuals (with respect to each other) hence some authority to complete those responsibilities.

One should think of this family institution as a mini state and therefore Islam has defined the responsibilities of man and women which of course are not on the modern world concept of equality of man and women, which is not only unnatural but also never practised in the world. Rather the set of responsibilities and authority is based on justice, on the natural capabilities of both sexes.

Most Likely victim in Family Institution
The most likely sufferer in the institution of family, as the history has proved, is women. Despite being in the modern scientific era and so-called civilised societies the victims of domestic violence are females.

Now the stance of Islam on family institution is clear as sated above and also the most likely victim in case of any issues as well.

So not only to preserver the institution of family but also to prevent any kind of Zulm on women, Allah has instructed man to act in a tactical way (for family preservation) in case of Nashuz and also at the same time limiting man to use beating as the last resort (not making compulsory). And the magnitude of this beating is a hit by Mikwas and the purpose is to try to a maximum level to save this institution.

Now if we keep these things in mind then we shouldn’t be ashamed of this in front of other religions. Islam has given protection to women, while preserving the family instituion. If not beating is the main and ultimate goal of modern approach, then has is been able to implement it despite being not only scrapping family system (at least practically) but also being claiming the champion of equal rights to man and woman? I will leave the decision to readers.
