In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

This discussion was between me and a brother, KS. Verse 4:34 of the Holy Qur'an talks about beating wives. Here is the verse:

Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great (Holy Qur'an 4:34)
