Judge Says Slap Your Wife On the Face

He said what?!! Oh my gosh. No. He didn't. Yes. He did. Although, I guess, anyone who has an internet connection has heard this kind of thing, from this side of the world, before... "A Jeddah court judge's approval of husbands slapping their wives on the face if they spend money lavishly on unnecessary things triggered a hue and cry during a seminar on domestic violence..." He said it at a seminar on domestic violence! [Is he still a judge at that court?] Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. [Well, okay. No, it isn't. But still!] Here's what he said: "If a person gives SR1,200 to his wife and she spends SR900 to purchase an abaya (the black gown) from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment." How about removing the requirement to wear "the black gown" and you won't have to worry about anyone spending SR900? [I paid SR90 for mine; you can buy them for a lot less than SR900!] The judge's comment "evoked an immediate reaction from the women in the audience who loudly protested." Gee. 'Ya think? The same judge "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country." Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

  1. I hope this same judge gets his ass kicked by his harem of wives waiting for him at home...just once...let that happen please. Make his post coital sleep after having his way with wife #2 or whatever just a little less relaxed.

    What next?? Two kicks to the rear if she spends SR200/- out of SR300/- . Did someone just step out of the caves or what??
