That anyone would excuse marital abuse. Like I said before when it comes to being "provoked" then even a man who beats his wife will claim "she had it coming"

Anyone who finds it acceptable for a wife to beat her husband would they also then excuse a man under "certain" circumstances to beat his wife?

Also this is pure assumption that the women who beat their husbands in Saudi were among the oppressed. How do we know that?for all we know they maybe the ones who's hubby's actually give in to them. For the very fact that they were able to actually physically abuse their men proves they were certainly not weak lil lambs!

No...its wrong.Spouse abuse can never be excused for a man or a woman. and for children to see their mothers beat up their dads and/or vice versa the sight is soul scarring....trust me!!
