Beating women in Islam

[WinterHold]

So you can’t answer this hypothetical? If it had said that all along, then you’d have learnt that as being moral, and you’d have done it. Yes?

Or would you have objected and decided it wasn’t a good authority after all? If so, on what basis?

Or maybe you don’t know what you would have done.

Or maybe you’re saying god would never write something like that, which is also based on your own morality. If it’s just god's, he can’t  be wrong.

I won't answer an "what if scenario", and this goes to all serious cases I'm interested in. Frankly I only find it useful to do so (think about the if scenarios) if it served my understanding of a certain fact, otherwise it's just energy burned at circling the same spot over and over.

If I married and my wife beat me someday, I would chose forgiving her over hurting her back; but that's a personal preference that the verse gave me; I would choose to invest in forgiveness for the sake of the love between me and her, but it doesn't mean that I don't know what some other women do or the amount of sad damage they cause to their husbands.

I will know very well if my mate is just being "emotional"; or if she is waging a crusade on me.

God created us both, and woe to me if I ever hurt somebody that doesn't deserve it.
