Court Ruling On Domestic Violence
The Qur’an directive is to save a marriage and family. It does not mean every step will be accomplished. The wife can go to court and say the husband slapped her too hard and it hurt a lot. He can deny it. In any case I feel if a husband slaps his wife in anger who will guarantee if it was a gentle tap or a hard hit? I don’t know about other women, but I certainly do not support wife hitting. I think you you need to understand the ayat and not take every word literally.
