Cela me fache toujours d'entendre dire par qui que ce soit or par n'importe quelle excuse que c'est acceptable de frapper une femme, surtout sa femme, sa compagne. Je sais qu'il y a des situations quand c'est la femme qui tappe sur l'homme, donc je devrais dire 'son compagnon', mais statistiquement, c'est plutot la situation de l'homme qui cherche a dominer, controler, manipuler par la violence.

How can anybody justify under any pretense that it is alright to beat up your spouse? This has to do with control and power, not with love. This is not ishk, this is not wadud (all loving).

This is imposing one's ego on someone else. Such behavior comes from insecurity, fear, doubts and all the demons that make a man believe that to be a man it must dominate the beautiful woman that he has made his companion. This is not the exemple of the prophet Mohammed (pbuh) with Khadija, Aisha, and all the women around him. Walking in the footsteps of the prophet (fana fi rassoul) is knowing about the beautiful women around the prophet who as Khadija was a business woman, powerful, confident (she is the one who lifted the veils of doubts when the prophet came from the cave), who trusted in him and gave him the charge of her business first before she gave him all her support in believing in him in his prophecy. In a way, she was his teacher.
