Pakistani husbands can beat wives if they disobey, says Islamic Council : Pakistan, News – India Today

The bill said that a husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands, refuses to dress up as per his wishes and turns down demand of physical contact.

It suggested that a beating is also permissible if a woman does not observe Hijab, interacts with strangers, speaks loud and provides monetary support to people without taking consent of her husband.

It also recommended to ban co-education after primary education, ban on women from taking part in military combat, ban on welcoming foreign delegations, interacting with males and making recreational visits with strangers.

Female nurses should not be allowed to take care of male patients and women should be banned from working in advertisements, it said.

It also recommended that an abortion after 120 days of conceiving should be declared murder.

All of this begs the question, who is in charge of beating the husband when they do not live up to the expectations of others?
