Now distaff Islam have given their imprimatur to an old fashioned beating within the marriage.
'It's a blessing': Sydney Muslim women discuss a husband's right to hit his wife
Muslim men are permitted to "strike" their women with a small stick or handkerchief, "provided it does not cause pain", according to a new video released from the women's branch of the radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
In a video released by the group on Facebook, two Muslim women discuss the methods and justifications in which a man may be permitted to hit his wife, in accordance with the teachings of the Koran.
The Australian reports one of the women is Sydney schoolteacher Reem Allouche, who in the video tells an audience of 26 women in the west of the city that the husband takes on the role of leader in the marriage.
The teacher speaks of and demonstrates the ways in which a Muslim man might discipline his wife in a "managed way" with the aid of a short stick or a piece of fabric.

The Koran is not open to interpretation. The Koran opens with: This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah.
So doubt has been removed and it means what it says. On beating a spouse it says: Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
That verse allows the use of a baseball bat or a feather; both are correct. There is no time limit placed on the punishment so it could go for a couple of hours.
