Actually, I think this is more a publicity stunt than an actual reformation. There is a hadith which states that a man shouldn't hit a woman in the face, or beat her too severely, and I think this pretty much accounts for the sharia which would be enforced (I'm not sure about the punishment - probably whatever number of lashes or jizya, or some other punishment acceptable to the officer).
The female would obviously only show her bruises among female officers, and then I'm not sure how far her testimony will get when hers is worth half of that to her husband... and then there might be need for 4 male witnesses/8 female ones...... who knows how effective it would be; considering that her husband isn't going to appreciate being lagged in to the cops, and what's more he can kick her out, keep the kids, and she gets little to nothing depending on how many can stake a claim and based on the fact that she's a woman.
