Saudi Marriage 'Expert' Advises Men in 'Right Way' to Beat Their Wives

Awesome! I've been wondering when a beating is in order, and when just a slap will do. Thanks Saudi guy!

After reading it, it sounds like he's advocating spanking, a cause i can get behind :naughty:

>_> uhh...whaaaat...

Dude, that's Soooo not gonna work over here. You'd get divorced and arrested for assault before you could land the second hit (in theory anyway. there are a lot of abused women who don't report abuse for varying reasons).

IMHO the only acceptable way to beat your wife is at cards (or whatever you two play together).

You have to remember, that's part of their culture. He's not advocating utterly obliterating them, just keeping them in line. While I don't endorse this, I can see how it would be beneficial to their society.
It's like saying "When you sell drugs, don't push them on elementary students."
If you're going to do a fucked up thing, at least do it right.

I was surprised by the whole "never in the face" caveat - apparently these guys are much more enlightened than I expected. Take that, Africa.
