Saudi cleric teaches fine points of how to 'discipline' women

He continued, "Some religious scholars say: 'He should beat her with a
toothpick.' I happen to have a toothpick with me. A man who is angry
with his wife because she doesn't get it... If he says to her: 'Watch
out, the child has fallen next to the stove,' or: 'Move the child away
from the electrical socket,' and she says: 'I am busy' - then he beats
her with a toothpick or something like it. He doesn't beat her with a
bottle of water, a plate, or a knife. This is forbidden. The scholars
said he should beat her with a toothpick."

Wife-beating made simple

Saudi cleric teaches fine points of how to 'discipline' women

A religious leader in Saudi Arabia has provided instructions to young
Muslims about how to deliver a beating to their wives, saying, "the
beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly. He must beat
her where it will not leave marks."

The report comes from the Middle East Media Research Institute, which
monitors media reports throughout the Middle East.

The Saudi cleric, Muhammad Al-'Arifi, said on the video captured from
LBC Television by MEMRI, "Men beat women more often than women beat
men. I said that some women beat their husbands because this happens,
but it is rare, and there is no need to hold conferences on wives who
beat their husbands.

"Allah created women with these delicate, fragile, supple, and soft
bodies, because they use their emotions more than they use their
bodies. Therefore, while the man may use beating to discipline his
wife, she sometimes uses her tears to discipline him. He gets what he
wants by screaming, while she gets what she wants from him by crying
and displaying emotions. For men, women's emotions may be fiercer than
the strike of a sword," the cleric said.

MEMRI, which has a web page dedicated to video clips on the rights and
wrongs of beatings, said the cleric reported two options before the
beatings.

"First, 'admonish them' - once, twice, three times, four times, 10
times. If this doesn't help, 'refuse to share their beds.' In such a
case, the husband does not sleep with his wife, or, in other words, he
is angry with her. He gives her the silent treatment, refusing to talk
to her. If he comes to eat, and she asks him: 'How are you?' - he
doesn't answer. If she asks him: 'Do you want anything?' - he doesn't
answer. He distances himself from her in bed and in conversation; he
does not sleep with her, but goes to sleep in another room. He shows
her that he is angry with her," the cleric said.

"Then, he added, "If this does not help - if the admonishing does no
good, and when he goes to sleep in another room, she says: 'Thank God
he's gone. Now I've got the whole bed to myself, I will sleep alone in
bed and roll over at night as much as I like.' If neither method works
with her, what is the third option?"

The video shows a guest saying, "And beat them."

"That's right," said Al-'Arifi, "How is this beating performed? What
do you think?"

"Light beatings," the guest said.

"Light beatings in what way?" Al-'Arifi asked.

"For example, I wouldn't beat her in the face...," the guest said.

The cleric said such beatings are forbidden, "even when it comes to
animals.

"When a person is beating an animal ... Even if you want your camel or
donkey to start walking, you are not allowed to beat it in the face.
If this is true for animals, it is all the more true when it comes to
humans. So beatings should be light and not in the face," the cleric
said.

He continued, "Some religious scholars say: 'He should beat her with a
toothpick.' I happen to have a toothpick with me. A man who is angry
with his wife because she doesn't get it... If he says to her: 'Watch
out, the child has fallen next to the stove,' or: 'Move the child away
from the electrical socket,' and she says: 'I am busy' - then he beats
her with a toothpick or something like it. He doesn't beat her with a
bottle of water, a plate, or a knife. This is forbidden. The scholars
said he should beat her with a toothpick."

The cleric told the young Muslims beating a wife "is not to inflict
pain. ... A donkey understands nothing but beatings, but a woman, a man,
a child, and so on, are generally more affected by emotions than by
others things."

"If you beat her with a toothpick, or if you beat her lightly with
your hand, and so on, it is meant to convey: 'Woman, it has gone too
far. I can't bear it anymore.' If he beats her, the beatings must be
light and must not make her face ugly. He must beat her where it will
not leave marks. He should not beat her on the hand... He should beat
her in some places where it will not cause any damage. He should not
beat her like he would beat an animal or a child - slapping them right
and left. Unfortunately, many husbands beat their wives only when they
get mad, and when they start beating, it as if they are punching a
wall - they beat with their hands, right and left, and sometimes use
their feet. ... He must not do this."
