i too was torn watching this beating. religion or no religion ... lot has to do with money and support for women when it comes to abuse. i think by far most muslim countries as far as law is concern have very little legal rights for women. no where in the world family can kill a girl /women on suspicion of cheating and also pride killing is legal(almost non punishable by law) coming from a same religion where multiple wife is legal for men and such a severe punishments for women. women needs to go to court to get a divorce but men can just call it three times and its over???? ... talk about double standards and bigotry.
west is diff when comes to rights and legal system ... you can say things against religion and wont stone you to death unlike you know where???? women have shelters, more support from government if family does not stand by you. there are avenues besides family approval for all. what most of us grew up with and our (most eastern culture) acceptance level is very much diff than most of west.
i just cant stand the fact that the husband is having a legal /out in a open affair, going on vacation with a side kick and the wife gets a animal type beating by just being in a same room and talking to a male cousin. father is the most to blame for the entire abuse... if you cant protect your children and stand for their support when needed then they are no parent. he is such a big influential guy and his daughter is getting the beating of her life/ insults almost everyday and he is not aware of it... i just hope and prey that shaila's father gets to the bottom of this and gets her ex on the road.
Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.
Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"
Quran (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it" Men are to rub dirt on their hands, if there is no water to purify them, following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).
Quran (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. (To be fair, men are told to do the same thing in the prior verse).
Quran (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land. This verse is overtly sexual. There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse. If this is what Muhammad meant, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365).
Quran (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four" Inequality by numbers.
Quran (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names." Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male.
Quran (4:24) and Quran (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Note that the verse distinguishes wives from captives (those whom they right hand possesses
