Is it ever permissible for a man to beat his wife?

Bible: No       Qur'an: Yes

Ephesians 5:25-29 – 25. Husbands, love your wives… 28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church.

Colossians 3:19 – Husbands love you wives and be not bitter against them.

1 Peter 3:7 – ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel...


An-Nisa 4:34 – As for those from whom you fear disloyalty, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and beat them (lightly, without visible injury). They if they obey you, seek not a way against them. For Allah is High, Sublime.
