"What's a little beating in an Islamic household?"
A sign you are loved???? /sarc on/
I don't know - the Koran probably claims such a thing!! I know it is a fact that the Koran considers a woman to be 1/4 of a man.
As a result of this stupid equation, even a muslim woman who is raped has to find 4 male witnesses to collaborate her statement for it to be considered in a court of law. We see this time and again in cases involving these poor women.
