Hope you are well. The number of issues you have raised are a classic examples of how the mistranslations and falsehoods have corrupted Islam.
Quran is for all times & if it failed this test then the foundations of Islam would indeed be like a castle built on sand.

(1) Nowhere in the Quran it states that punishment for adultery is stoning. I am afraid this is another hadith based corruption in Islam.

(2) To understand any word in the Quran one has to use the best meaning and cross reference it as to how it is used in other places. The word darba in the Quran does not mean beat. I will paste my original pt from page 1.

[quote] Before tackling the word 'Daraba'

Bear this in mind from the Quran:
39:18
"The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the BEST of it. These are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence."

Then consider some of the verses from the Quran:
14:24
"Have you not seen how God puts forth (Daraba) the example of a good word is like a good tree, whose root is firm and its branches in the sky."

2:273
"For the poor who face hardship in the cause of God, they cannot go forth (Darban) in the land; the ignorant ones think they are rich from their modesty; you know them by their features, they do not ask the people repeatedly. And what you spend out of goodness, God is fully aware of it."

Daraba (in its natural state) means: `to put forth`
AND

The approach of choosing the `best` understanding and/or meaning is both logical and, more importantly, in-line with the guidance for study we are given by God:

So:

4:34
"The men are to support the women by what God has gifted them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright women who are attentive, and keep private the personal matters for what God keeps watch over. As for those women from whom you fear a desertion, then you shall 1) advise them, and 2) abandon them in the bedchamber, and 3) "Idribuhun" let them go forth; if they obey you, then do not seek a way over them; God is High, Great."  [/quote]

(3) Quran does not permit polygamy it is again a misrepresentation over the centuries by male dominated societies who wanted to use women purely for their own grtification. Let us briefly lok at the relevant Quranic verses:

[quote] 4:2   And give the orphans their properties , and do not exchange/replace/substitute the bad/spoiled with the good/beautiful , and do not eat their properties to your properties , that it was a great/large sin/crime .

4:3    And if you feared that you not be just/equitable in the orphans , so marry what (was) allowed/permitted for you from the women two twos/twos, and threes, and fours, so if you feared that you not be just/equitable, so (marry) one or what your rights owned/possessed, that (is) nearer that you not side away from justice . [/quote]

I think the Quran is fairly clear that more than one marriage is only permitted if it involves the mothers of the Orphans and careful study the Quran  also makes it clear this is not a lience for any one to go and marry widows but only those that have been appointed guardian(s) of the orphans.

[quote] 4:129"[b]You can NEVER be equitable in dealing with more than one wife,[/b] no matter how hard you try. Therefore, do not be so biased as to leave one of them hanging. If you correct this situation and maintain righteousness, GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful."
  [/quote]  
And if there is any doubt that Islam forbids more than one wife then I think the above verse more or less banishes that notion.

Unfortunately the corruptions by the pagans and hadith have now become so ingrained in Islam that very thing that the Quran condemns is represented as condones.
