London:
(IANS) An Islamic marriage guide advising men on 'the best ways' to beat their
wives has sparked outrage in Britain, especially among moderate Muslims who say
that it encourages domestic violence.
The
book - A Gift For Muslim Couple - tells husbands that they should beat their
wives with "hand or stick or pull her by the ears", the Daily Mail
reported.
Authored
by Maulavi Ashraf Ali Thanvi, who is understood to be a prominent Islamic
scholar, the 160-page book claims to be a "presentation for
newlyweds" or couples who have been together for some years.
"The
book... deals with the subject of marriage and after marriage relationship, as
well as the various pitfalls of marriage, causes of breakdown and their
causes," reads the book's blurb.
The
book claims to narrate "real life incidents" and advises on
"different aspects of family life and how to run the institution of
marriage successfully".
The
book, however, also states that a husband should treat the wife "with
kindness and love, even if she tends to be stupid and slow sometimes".
The
book has faced backlash from moderate Muslims.
Thanks for sharing this very interesting story.I think love and marriage is something which most people crave for. But some people keep facing different obstacles in the solemnization of their marriage for some reason or the other. Recently I came across a guide about "Self Help: Marriage and Relationship." I have found this guide extremely useful and effective. Therefore I would definitely recommend it to others.
