RIYADH: A Saudi judge has told a seminar on domestic violence that it is okay for a man to slap his wife for lavish spending, a local newspaper
reported on Sunday.

Jeddah judge Hamad al-Razine gave the example of overspending to buy a high-end abaya, the head-to toe black shroud Saudi women have to wear in public, as justifying a smack for one’s wife, Arab News said. “If a person gives $320 to his wife and she spends $240 to purchase an abaya from a brand shop, and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment,” he said.

The judge’s remarks sparked an outcry at the seminar on the role of judicial and security officials in preventing domestic violence, the paper reported. Razine acknowledged the depth of the problem of domestic violence but said some of the blame must be shouldered by wives for their behaviour.

Really this is advertised by Indian Govt.. as "GHANTI BAJAOO"

As in such issues - If there is a external disturbance.. the anger drops down suddenly.... and they don re-start the fight again...

Jus ring the Bell and run away.... :)

My wife over spent the other day. She bought a coat for 5,000 QR, she put it on and she said what do you think love? I said, it looks lovely, but your knickers are coming off. She said, no they're not. I said, well the fucking coat is going back then!!!!

LOL Speed !!! Just comparing. Since it is a male prerogative to earn and wife's to cook (according to traditional outlook), under what condition who would and should slap whom ?

On a different note though, wives get a kick out of squeezing every penny from the husband's pocket - more if they squirm.

but for spending money no. Unless...................he/she spent it on something stupid instead of what we needed, like food or to pay bills etc.

mentioned 'Religious Scholars' not Islamic :-)

Anyhow, I do agree with you and I don't deny that no doubt there are may be some intelligent people on QL and God knows they might carry more knowledge of their Religion then any other Religious Scholar!

But still I don't think you will reach to an agreement or conclusion to any of your discussion topic, since you are only ONE and facings hundreds of posts at same time from different people of different thoughts !!

Well this is what I have been observing on QL and other online public forums...

bleu - If you don't know something is inaccurate you can't fix it. That's my point. People go on there and blindly take whatever they read as being true.

There was a news story just this week, where someone described an experiment they did with wikipedia. I don't remember the exact details, but here's the gist of it;

- A composer died.

- The guy doing the experiment edited the composer's wiki page to include an elaborate quote of the last thing the composer said before he died.

- Several international newspapers ran a story on the composer's death, including the made up quote.

- It was only when the experimenter contacted the newspapers that they realised their error

- The newspapers published retractions and apologies, but the quote was already all over the internet on blogs etc.

Actually, wikipedia is all true.

At least that's the aim.

A few days ago, I saw the page for Mesaieed, it said:

Mesaieed gained independence from Al-Wakrah governorate in 2006 after a bloody civil war which had begun in 2003. Under the terms of the peace treaty, Mesaieed was allowed to have its own football team, and was to pay royalties of 20 million Riyals each year and host a party at the Dana Club, to which all citizens of Al-Wakrah were invited.

I removed that part, it was easy: edit, delete text, save...

I have also fixed some other pages by adding/editing/deleting stuff.

It does nothing to whine about Wikipedia's inaccuracy, when you see it, just fix it.

I agree with you. The discussions can be a valuable form of information. The problem occurs (IMHO) is that many do not have the indepth knowledge on a specific topic. They may post something believing it to be correct but may mislead you.

Not offended at all SPEED. Thanks for taking the time to write your response.

Just to be clear, if by 'The True Path of Life' you mean 'Islam' then no, that is not what I'm seeking. I am quite happy with my choices when it comes to religion.

That doesn't stop me from wanting to learn about other religions though, especially one that is so predominant in the country I'm living in. Having said that, my desire to learn does not stretch as far as taking time out of my day to visit a scholar, who undoubtedly would provide more professional answers as you point out.

But I'd argue that QL can provide many answers if a sensible discussion is had between members. In my 3 years in Qatar I've learnt an awful lot about Islam through asking questions on QL, and I don't think people should be discouraged from doing so.

you should approach the Islamic Scholars not the normal followers like us, we do have knowledge of our Religion but not at the level of Scholars/Imams or Muftis who can answer all your doubts in a professional and peaceful manner.

Also we all know that if someone is truly seeking 'The True Path of Life' should seek thru reliable source not where you don't know who you are discussing with blindly.

I don't see here people discussing rather they are ARGUING and arguing will only keep way a person from the truth who is sincerely seeking the Truth...

Sorry, I am open and honest with you and I Appologize if my statement is harsh but this should be the correct approach anyone seeking the 'Right Path'.

There is a saying of our Imam/Caliph Ali(AS):

"There are four causes of infidelity and loss of belief in Allah: hankering after whims, a passion to dispute every argument, deviation from truth; and dissension, because whoever hankers after whims does not incline towards truth; whoever keeps on disputing every argument on account of his ignorance, will always remain blind to truth, whoever deviates from truth because of ignorance, will always take good for evil and evil for good and he will always remain intoxicated with misguidance. And whoever makes a breach (with Allah and His Messenger) his path becomes difficult, his affairs will become complicated and his way to salvation will be uncertain.

Similarly, doubt has also four aspects absurd reason- ing; fear; vacillation and hesitation; and unreasonable surrender to infidelity, because one who has accustomed himself to unreasonable and absurd discussions will never see the Light of Truth and will always live in the darkness of ignorance. One who is afraid to face facts (of life, death and the life after death) will always turn away from ultimate reality, one who allows doubts and uncertainties to vacillate him will always be under the control of Satan and one who surrenders himself to infidelity accepts damnation in both the worlds."

oh what a theory...

"that the wife will spend as much money as possible to keep the husband broke and ensure that he doesn't go off and marry another.." lol :)

i think that theory is not only applicable in saudi but also here in qatar (and even in other arab countries)...

but for me, the JUDGE is only using that to protect his POCKET from his wife...

well in the future (if i'll get marry), i think i'll be ashamed to overspend my husband's money just for my personal things (abaya, make-ups,etc)...i'll make sure it's from my own pocket...

In the west it is called domestic violence.. But never gets proven in the courts as there is no evidence of slapping on the face unless there is physical marks/evidence. In the west it is very hard to prove domestic violence.

The story above is interesting and amazing and comes from a country where women are not allowed to go out alone. My question is how and who reported this to the authorities to get far as a court etc?

I have learnt not to argue/debate with Paul, tallg and Gypsy on Islam.....with every statement, there will be another counter statement or question...will continue till day of judgment....

In short, learn Islam in detail (whatever source you have) rather I provide more detail and start spoon- feeding....enuf and enough of discussion on Islam.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Personally, being a mature couple, we don't need slap each other rather make PoV clearly understand the situation before we declare bankruptcy.

Arien, your intention is definitely clean; but as you know some of QLer's never leave a chance to ........

Thats great VB but how does this apply to anything I said to you? I have no inclination towards pleasing any of them (no offense). I am pointing out that you are justifying beating a woman by Islamic means but forgot to mention that Islam does not condone the mistreatment of women. Quite the opposite actually but what you paint is barbaric.

I say if the WIFE is not smart enough to understand her husbands financial situation and goes and over spends words will have no effect on her. In such situations, mental people are given shock treatment, applying same rules one tight slap should bring her back to her senses :p

I would only condone slapping a woman in an "intimate" situation, when she wants it...

a QR800 abaya? That's not a "designer" abaya, it's too cheap.

VB, you forgot to mention that The Prophet (PBUH) said that the best men among the muslims are the ones who are the kindest to their wives. By your interpretation am I to assume that slapping is a gesture of love and kindness? Always for the womens own good right?

rules for hitting your wife...now i've seen everything...

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.

-Mark Twain-

wife?

".the important is not the legallity of such act but in which circumstance and considering the impact, place to hit is also important."

If I was yer wife, and you hit me. I would kick yer ass back to the stone age !

Hitting women IS NOT RIGHT.PERIOD.FULL STOP.

And dont give me all that crap about what is written in the Quran either.

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.

That would be called a preemptive strike. Both would negate the other and put them on neutral ground.

Amoud...hey we have to have a license to carry concealed weapons...my mom has one!!

VB - so your condoning men hitting women, given the right circumstances?

Please can you list these circumstances (preferably in your own words, not with a cut'n'paste religious text).

Victor Mutahajibah abayas are terrible, they tear in the ends so easily.

I was joking about the embassy VB, and have other means to get a visa for saudi other than an agent

Actually, would be a challenge to put something more original styles on the avaya. Oooppss! sorry for hijacking. anyway, slapping still not acceptable for me. My parents hands never landed on my two cheeks. Thank God! So will not allow any other person to do it either.

Scarlett stay on topic, its not about not giving enough money to the wife its the wife who goes and over spends:p

Wives mugging husbands in broad day light will not be tolerated in any country :)

selling similar Abayas...

Saudi embassy don't entertain directly, you need to through an authorised agent to obtain visas.

Follow Utube (correct version) to check about Men's right to hit women.....the important is not the legallity of such act but in which circumstance and considering the impact, place to hit is also important.

Lol, Scarlett with a motto like that and the law stating you can carry a concealed weapon I think it is fitting.

lol Scarlett...

in fact before leaving the house, the wife and husband should slap in advance to each other to be extra careful...:)

then why shouldn't the woman slap her husband BEFORE she goes out shopping because he might not give her enough money...

Why not get a plain avaya then check out own style to make it more like a designer's avaya? It is gonna be fun and much stylish at your own choice. That is if you are not busy, just bored. :)

Scarlett slapping a wife for over spending is considered slapping for self defense...self defending the husbands money.

Hmm, now I am going to be jetsetting all over the gulf in the pursuit of cheap abayas. I have to start factoring in how many abayas I will have to buy to justify the airfare:)

not always Brit, even the plainest of designer abayas here will run you a small fortune, especially if you walk into the shop and request them to make it. Once you start adding all the bling you may as well take a small personal loan to pay for it.

The saudis come to Bahrain to shop in our malls,so come here instead.

Or come down the Souq, lots of fancy Abaya shops there.

I don't believe that figure is correct. The Abayas is Qatar are much more ornate and fancy.

As an aside, the "Mutawa" in Saudi have been clamping down on fancy Abayas since they can help attract attention towards her.

crap outta his wife ?

Oh no wait. Of course, womens' rights out here are better and more advanced than in the 'west',so they will never get beaten....

No excuse to EVER HIT A WOMAN ! EVER.

Ha, Darude after being in the Saudi embassy an big bad wolf such as yourself will be a mere pup.

Mall, the judge in the post said "if your wife spends $240 of that on a designer abaya" ... designer abayas here run you far more than that, so I am planning a little cross border road trip.

I think this post actually encouraged me to spend more, who can pass up a deal :)____________________________________________________

sigh... didn't anyone ever realizes that one of the reasons why women is addcited to retail therapy is because they are BORED?.. and boredom comes from the fact that they are made useless by their own society.

She was at fault by the way....

I never hit back...

Violence is not an option...

But if your man screws around and you catch him...

Feel free to give him one good slap...

I think that the law in Texas???

It should be...

'OK to slap wife for overspending'

.

if she is spending ur money -hell yes

.

if she bought items out from her pocket -you have not right, just shut up:)

The judge is an idiot. Physical abuse cannot and should not be condoned.

Budgeting and spending are part and parcel of married life. We all have to make adjustments.

slapping her before puting her in the cage is alright, but after is just haraam!

Is never justified unless its due to self defense. How a someone can say its alright is absolute idiocy...what about just SPEAKING to the wife about not spending so much?? Women DO have brains, you know.

nuisance and ignorance of civilized conduct and behaviour.

We may need to know more detail, if this may be a continuous behaviour of an uneducated/stupid wife..

SAR 1,000/- riyals for an abaya....quite exorbitant!

By Amoud• 13 May 2009 09:05

Maybe Victor, I have a university degree and only got slapped twice this month.... not bad considering it is only the middle of the month.

Seriously though, you cant judge a whole nation by one person and their opinions.

I totally agree, my DH sometimes gives me a bit of a smack for buying the US made Chips Ahoy. He is totally right, the GCC made ones almost taste the same. How frivilous of me :)
