Cop: Your wife says you beat her with a club, and the beating left her with facial lacerations, broken bones, and internal injuries. Is this true?
Man: Yes, but there’s no contract forbidding me to do so.
Cop: Sorry to have bothered you, sir. Have a nice day.

The contract he is talking about is the marriage contract.
Which most Muslim women are not permitted to read before signing it.
But my point was that Winter seems to be saying that the ONLY reason for law enforcement to be involved in domestic abuse is if it’s done in violation of a contract. In other words, if a particular contract doesn’t prohibit wife-beating, it isn’t a crime.
