There is, of course, domestic violence in all cultures. So to post this is just “Islamophobic,” right? Wrong: there is domestic violence in all cultures, but only in one does it have divine sanction. Islam doesn’t teach that man may kill his wife, but once you’ve allowed him to beat her, accidents will happen.
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

In a ghastly incident in Pakistan’s Faisalabad, a teenager was tortured, humiliated and sexually harassed for refusing to marry an older man, who is the father of her friend, media reports said.
A video of the abuse that took place on August 9 surfaced on Wednesday morning and went viral on social media. In the video, the girl could be seen being tortured while a woman’s voice can be heard in the background.
The culprits made the victim lick shoes, her hair was chopped and eyebrows shaved.
The victim said that her friend’s father, a factory owner, was forcing her to marry him but when she refused, she was abused, harassed and filmed. She said that her friend also encouraged her to accept the proposal, Geo News reported.
Taking note of the matter, the police registered a case and arrested six people, including the prime suspect (her friend’s father) and a female household staff member.
The suspects will be presented before a magistrate in court. Earlier, the police had reportedly said that the arrested suspects included the prime suspect’s wife as well, who is reportedly the woman behind the voice in the video….
