News: Saudi therapist gives advice on beating wives

A Saudi Arabian family therapist has released a video giving his advice on wife beating.

In the tutorial, Khaled Al-Saqaby says he is "aware that this issue is a thorny one, which contains many hazards".

He adds: "But Allah willing, we will cross this bridge safely."

The footage was shot earlier this year then translated and released last month by the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute.

In the video, Mr Al-Saqaby suggests the aim of beating a wife "is to discipline, not to vent one's anger".

"The necessary Islamic conditions for beating must be met," he stresses.

The family therapist suggests the beating should not be performed with a rod or sharp object, but instead with a tooth-cleaning twig or handkerchief.

He says: "The beating should not be performed with a rod... nor should it be a headband... or a sharp object, which, I am sad to say, some husbands use.

"It should be done with something like the sewak tooth-cleaning twig - or with a handkerchief."

He explains: "Because the goal is merely to make the wife feel that she was wrong in the way she treated her husband."

"Unfortunately, some wives want to live a life of equality with their husband," he says. "This is a very grave problem."

I don't think people forget since the media is inundated with advertisements and news articles condemning it. Look at Australia and their massive campaign against abuse. You can't control individual people. No society can. However in these countries it is not only ACCEPTED, but explicitly stated as legal.
