Pakistani men can beat wives 'lightly,' Islamic council says (CNN)The leader of a Pakistani Islamic council has proposed a bill that allows husbands to "lightly beat" their wives as a form of discipline. In the 75-page proposal, Mohammad Khan Sheerani suggests a light beating is acceptable should the need arise to punish a woman. The proposal bans forceful beating, saying only a small stick is necessary to instill fear. Edited by dcbl, May 28 2016, 11:59 AM.

A man who asks to be able to beat a woman in order to be considered a man is no man at all. What is really amazing is that this is part of a 75 page bill, one could only shudder as what the rest of the pages entail.

As I said before, it's only fair if she gets to lightly poison his food. |

Thing is, once you bring physical violence into a situation you're the one crossing the line. Doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman doing it. |

Demonstrates that a backward-society should never-ever be influenced by clerics of whatever religion. |

I would rather not see religion having such an influence over any nation, if anything it's what keeps a nation a "backwards society". |

It's not a bill - it's a non-binding suggestion by an Islamic think-tank set up by the military government (Junta) in the early 60's.

After repeated warnings it's supposed to be something light that doesn't really cause damage. So, no to the lashes and such obviously. lol |

Frankly it doesn't matter how lightly it is, it's the fact that the government is encouraging and condoning any sort of behavior as such. Religion is toxic. |

The Pakistani government IS NOT encouraging and condoning anything. I repeat, this is an Islamic think-tank and any suggestion that it makes is not binding and more often than not, ignored by the Pakistani Government. The fact is that the Pakistani Government has enacted legislation to protect women in domestic violence situations. This idiocy is the subsequent reaction to the said legislation by the Islamic think tank.. Can we please drop the knee-jerk, misinformed, indignation and stop labelling the Pakistani Government unjustly. Cheers Hughmac Edited by Hughmac, May 31 2016, 03:53 PM.

Unjustly...there is a reason why we didn't tell the Pakistani Government our spec ops team went in for Obama, Pakistan intelligence is so riddled with Al-Queda and Taliban sympathizers as to the point they should rename themselves as Al-Queda East. |

Yes, and the Americans have the alarming habit of shooting up our soldiers but neither this observation nor your one is relevant. The case is that posters are completely skewing this whole affair. It is a Islamic advisory board that issue the controversial report - not the Pakistani Government. The Pakistani Government tabled a bill to protect women in domestic violence situations, which sparked off these idiots. The Pakistani Government has not the least intention of adopting the board's suggestions. Freaks, unwittingly and unjustly, is dumping this at the door of the Pakistani Government and you, when this obvious error is pointed out, rather than taking onboard the correction, go off at a tangent concerning how the Pakistani Military Intelligence is in cahoots with the Taliban. Would either of you, at the very least, read the quote that I posted from the BBC. Cheers Hughmac |
