السجن والجلد لرجل صفع زوجته في السعودية

How amazing this woman's voice was heard and even a punishment issued to the husband. Perhaps the King Khalid's Foundation is beginning to help females citizens in many different ways, not just the powerful poster on domestic abuse? Although the rape laws still seem archaic and more like chattel rules so there is along way to go before females are legally treated as dignified, civilised human beings.

This article is in the "Offbeat" section because normally the woman would have been flogged.

Definitely a step in the right direction!

Better than in the west where many wife abusers get sentenced to anger management and thats that, but still not enough. This is one case only lest we forget, how many women have not been given any justice in saudi arabia, america, turkey, france and all over the world?

Every man who beats a woman should be beaten by the state, jailed and fined and any future partner of his should be informed and warned of his violent tendencies by the state. Should he repeat the beating of a woman then he should be forbidden by law to even exist in the same room as women. That is how you end wife battering not by stupid worthless sentences. The east and the west have both failed women.
