Stanky Legs Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Just for discussion. Do you think this will fly here in North America. I'm personally against it. http://wgntv.com/2016/05/28/pakistani-men-can-beat-wives-lightly-islamic-council-says/ FILE PHOTO: Pakistani women queue to cast their vota as another woman has her finger marked after having voted at a polling station on May 11, 2013 on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan. (Photo by Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images) The leader of a Pakistani Islamic council has proposed a bill that allows husbands to “lightly beat” their wives as a form of discipline. In the 75-page proposal, Mohammad Khan Sheerani suggests a light beating is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman. The proposal bans forceful beating, saying only a small stick is necessary to instill fear. The Council of Islamic Ideology is a powerful constitutional body that advises the Pakistani legislature whether laws are in line with the teachings of Islam. Its proposed bill is seen as a response to the rejected Punjab Women Protection bill for abused women. The council shunned it as “un-Islamic” and wrote its own bill, which includes the recommendation for the light beating. “A husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands and refuses to dress up as per his desires; turns down demand of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take bath after intercourse or menstrual periods,” Pakistan’s Express-Tribune newspaper cited the proposal as saying. The proposal also calls for a beating if a woman does not wear a hijab, if she interacts with strangers, speaks too loudly or gives others cash without her husband’s permission, according to the newspaper. It also suggests bans on various activities, including women fighting in wars. But it allows women to participate in politics and become judges, and proposes that the need for a guardian for women of age is not required. The proposal also says that women should not be permitted to receive non-relatives or foreign officials, and they should not use birth control pills without asking their husbands. Proposals by the Council of Islamic Ideology are recommendations and are not applicable unless passed by legislators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have Halal now and maybe some other Islamic law in the future. Hijab also is now allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 No way in hell it gets allowed here. I'm sure some idiot will try but he'll be arrested for it like any other lowlife abuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 A spanking can be as much fun for the wife to receive as it is for the husband to administer. The Council recently approved the Robospanker as a marital tool. Islam is quite enlightened in some areas I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelicHearts Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 It's very sad that they allow women to be treated like this in different countries. Both men and women should be equal. I'm tired of seeing laws where they allow men to decide what happens to women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I think male genital mutilation is legal here. Little boys get the foreskin on their penis cut off because of religious reasons, so it's not a surprise that a different country could have a law that would allow "lightly beating" a women. According the the article some religious council proposed this to become law, it's not actual law. Religious councils propose all sorts of crazy things in all parts of the world.

Isn't Kosher meat and Halal meat the same thing? The animal is slaughtered the same way in both instances. I've never had either but if Kosher is OK I don't know why Halal wouldn't be.

It's religion and it's nothing else. Been done by jews, christians and muslims for 2k years. Or are you proposing that Jews, Christians and Muslims are of different genetic makeup than the rest of humanity and need to cut of skin on their penis for hygiene.
