HOW TO BEAT A WIFE BY HAND OR STICK: AN ISLAMIC MATRIMONIAL GUIDE FOR MEN

http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm

AN Islamic marriage guide that advises Muslim men on how to beat and control their wives has sparked outrage.

The 160-page A Gift For Muslim Couple tells husbands they may beat wives “by hand or stick” or “pull her by the ears”.

Women are told they must not leave the house without permission.

A wife should “beautify herself” for her man and “fulfil his desires”.

And if she disobeys, a husband may “restrain her with strength or threaten her”.

The book, based on the writings of an Islamic scholar, is on sale at online Islamic bookstores and eBay.

It is billed as “the perfect wedding gift”.

But moderate Muslim academic Tarek Fatah said that anyone selling it should be prosecuted.

He warned: “It is inciting men to hit women.”
