Sounds reasonable
I love how he thought he was being fair by saying "but not at the face".

Yeah and only when she refuses to have sex with him.
"but beatings are allowed only as a last resort"
Bottom line there.
In England it's not OK to beat your wife. People do it anyway and blame it on the drink. Black eyes and all.
You shouldn't be 'allowed' to beat anyone. Plus this dude is effectively condoning rape.
Don't get me wrong, I don't condone wife beating by anyone.
All I'm saying is that a lot worse goes on than what he's talking about, despite him being misguided. The kind of abuse he's talking about really isn't 'wife beating' in the sense that most people imagine that phrase to imply

Be fair, he does say that they can only use a small rod to beat women.
Plus they only beat them if the man can't do without.
Ok so if someone hit you with a small rod because you didn't do something you didn't want to do, it would be more acceptable because someone else is getting a bigger thrashing elsewhere?
There's only one person who should be getting the beating here and it's not the wife. It amazes me this stuff still goes on and is deemed acceptable in some societys.
Yeah cause when I said 'Don't get me wrong, I don't condone wife beating by anyone.' I meant 'Wife beating is sometimes acceptable'
Well you're saying that what they do isn't really wife beating.
If someone hits someone else because they won't do what they want that's assault in the modern world.
So in that sense it is wife beating, I'm guessing they don't gently tap them on the knee.
