But in the West, it seems as if her fate is at least dependent on her own choices.
Muslim Scholar Wrote:Beating wives happens anyway in many western countries, under Islam it is restricted to be not hard and not on face, it helps a lot in many cases, anyway (as any western country) she has the right of divorce if she doesn't like it too much.In the West, beating your wife is assault, and she also has the right of divorce if she's being assaulted. She also has the right to report the crime of assault and have that asshole arrested for being a scumbag.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
