A lot of people out there have are shocked after a video on "How To Beat Your Wife" was aired on National television in February this year. The video was anchored by a family therapist,Khaled Al-Saqaby, and according to AWDnews.com, the Saudi government approved the website before it aired on National television.
The video came into the known after it was air in the US via the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute, in April 2016.
In the video, Khaled Al-Saqaby said tha he is "aware that this issue (wife beating) is a thorny one, which contains many hazards. But Allah willing, we will cross this bridge safely. he necessary Islamic conditions for (wife) beating must be met, the aim of beating a wife "is to discipline, not to vent one's anger".
He suggested that beating the wife should not be done with sharp object or rod, but instead "something like the sewak tooth-cleaning twig - or with a handkerchief".
Al-Saqaby said; "because the goal is merely to make the wife feel that she was wrong in the way she treated her husband", and he said husband should remind their wife of "your rights and of her duties, according to Allah".
On Equality
Another reason to beat the wife is because " some wives want to live a life of equality with their husband,this is a very grave problem" and most "some women provoke their husbands to beat them"
