Quran 4:34 – Beating The Wife
… child to his parents. I frankly find this comparison unfair. There’s no reason to find it unfair when you understand the depth of what’s at stake. Is it fair to the husband or the children that the wife has rebelled against her own family, is still living with them, but is not interested in their well-being? I fail to understand how a wife can have a sudden change of heart As regular human beings we might fail to see the intricacies of human behavior that God obviously knows. Unless there’s any scientific research in this regard proving that this step is worthless, there’s no reason to doubt it. …there is a great potential for husbands to exceed their limits It’s true that a husband might exceed his limits, however, there’s society to protect the rights of the wife. What protection does the family have against a rebellious wife / mother? Divorce is definitely an option, but many lives get affected or even destroyed as a result. Isn’t this a 180° deviation from the principle of sadd e zaria The principle of p reventive measures or sadd e zariya is only applicable before a sin or a crime is committed. Here the rebellion has already been committed. Ghamidi sahab has explained this topic from every angle.
