I am glad we settled that one

Behold the Islamic rules of Wife Beating (Hattip Stefania): Sheik Aal Mahmoud: If the husband wants to use beatings to treat his wife, he must never ever do it in front of the children. It must remain between him and her. It must be done according to the following conditions: He must not cause bleeding or bruise her body. He should avoid her face and other sensitive parts of her body. As we've said, the limitations on beating are: They must not cause bleeding, they should not break any bones, they should not be on the face, and they should not bruise her. But before you get too excited and start beating your wife's chest, or her stomach, arms, legs or ass, you should realize the following: If the husband violates these rules, he violates the rules of Allah.If she has been hurt, the husband is held liable for what he has done, because the woman is not his merchandise. He cannot do to her whatever he wants. Besides Beating her of course! Sigh....
