According to Islamic Principles, if the husband beats a wife without respecting the limits set down by the Quran and Hadith, then she can take him to court and if ruled in favour has the right to apply the law of retaliation and beat the husband as he beat her. So Islam gives the right to the wife to hit the husband if he is unjust towards her in physical situations and I support this.
Like I said, hitting someone is not always considered to be an act of violence. It can be an act of discipline, bring someone out of prolonged bad mood, bring attention to the person and etc.
