Shari`ah Stance on Domestic Violence
Assalaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Several feminist websites report that 90% of women abuse cases in Saudi Arabia happen because of the patriarchal family system, since the abusers are their own fathers or brothers.now, let's suppose that their stats are true. What rights do women have against such men? I have heard that it is forbidden to beat a woman violently, even if is to reprimand her. What has the Shariah to offer these women?
