Although most of the stuff on this site is funny, this video is not meant to be funny in any way. It was taken from Bahrain TV and features a cleric explaining the guidelines/rules for beating your wife.
Quickly, here are the main points:
- No blood.
- No bruises.
- Can’t hit the face.
- Can’t break any bones.
- Not in front of the kids.
Video below.

If Allah says it’s O.K. to beat your wife, why can’t you do it in front of the kids? Let me be the first to comment on this video by sayin “Are you people out of your minds? What the hell is wrong with you? You’re gonna stand there and tell me that the creator of the entire and I mean ENTIRE universe, sanctions beating your wife then you tell me it can’t leave any marks and not in front of the children…gee why do I find it hard to believe that you’re plugged into the true creator?
Plugged into the true creator? You ought to plug your head out of your ass Mr. wise man. Christians are just as retarded as jews and as radical muslims. You all suck balls. My balls.
I may be dense here, but how exactly to you give a proper beatdown without bruising or bleeding?
Imaginary friends are for little kids.
He is clearly saying: Dont beat your wife. Dont break her bones, dont bruise her, dont make her bleed, dont even slap her in front of the kids, and if you even hurt her: Allah holds you accountable. Even if your wife forgives you- you should not do it!
Sounds like pretty good advice to me. There is a lot to be critical of Islam, but this is not it. Its clear that this guy is trying to get people NOT to beat their wives and speaking out against those who do.
This is also a translation and its hard to know precisely the wording, but in this translation it is implicit that you are allowed to slap or cause pain to your wife (worse things have happened in the bedroom!) as long as you dont injure her, but in a country where spousal abuse is may be relatively common and accepted, a man saying ‘Dont injure her and never in front of the kids’ is a positive message.
the translation is completely made up. He could be saying anything.
the way that muslims treat their women in general he is prolly saying give her a spanking just like you discipline your kids. Women are treated as little more then kids in that religion anyways oweing her husband the same obediance she gave to her father.
