At least in America and the west wife beating is illegal, and you can be prosecuted. Also, we have shelters for battered women, etc. Where are they in Islamic countries? Why is it ok with them? I for the life of me, can't understand some of you guys defending these barbaric middle age people. Wrong is wrong. This shows their religion is WRONG. No love, women are like cattle, honor killings, rape victims executed, etc. This is stupid. FYI it isn't tolerated in Israel or the west.
