Please do quote quran for us as we clearly missed this part when we read it.
Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is most high.
--Qur'an 4:34
Yes but even there its looked down upon and its becoming more and more socially unacceptable !
So what does Geeta preaches, ??...''Thy shall add Tomatoes in every Curry'' !!Its allowed as per orthodox translations of holy book :|
It is evident from many authentic Traditions that the Prophet himself intensely detested the idea of beating one's wife, and said on more than one occasion, "Could any of you beat his wife as he would beat a slave, and then lie with her in the evening?" (Bukhari and Muslim). According to another Tradition, he forbade the beating of any woman with the words, "Never beat God's handmaidens" (Abu Da'ud, Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ibn Hibban and Hakim, on the authority of Iyas ibn 'Abd Allah; Ibn Hibban, on the authority of 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas; and Bayhaqi, on the authority of Umm Kulthum). When the above Qur'an-verse authorizing the beating of a refractory wife was revealed, the Prophet is reported to have said: "I wanted one thing, but God has willed another thing - and what God has willed must be best" (see Manar V, 74). With all this, he stipulated in his sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, shortly before his death, that beating should be resorted to only if the wife "has become guilty, in an obvious manner, of immoral conduct", and that it should be done "in such a way as not to cause pain (ghayr mubarrih)"; authentic Traditions to this effect are found in Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Da'ud, Nasa'i and Ibn Majah. On the basis of these Traditions, all the authorities stress that this "beating", if resorted to at all, should be more or less symbolic - "with a toothbrush, or some such thing" (Tabari, quoting the views of scholars of the earliest times), or even "with a folded handkerchief" (Razi); and some of the greatest Muslim scholars (e.g., Ash-Shafi'i) are of the opinion that it is just barely permissible, and should preferably be avoided: and they justify this opinion by the Prophet's personal feelings with regard to this problem.
(The Message of the Quran, translated and explained by Muhammad Asad, pg.118)
This is an authoritative translation of the Koran in the Orthodox tradition by Muhammad Asad in which he gives the above explanation and context for verse 4:34 along with authentic Prophetic traditions from numerous authentic sources !
So please don't teach our religion to us !
Made me laugh as well. But it's understandable, the defense is obligated to try everything to save his neck.

Well I haven't been to Pakistan since 12 years so I really hope Pakistanis are changing some of their silly tribal and unethical customs.
PS another Hindutav troll is out of the bag attacking Pakistan and Islam. These retards are really mad because we are making fun of his god Modi.

"When the above Qur'an-verse authorizing the beating of a refractory wife was revealed, the Prophet is reported to have said: "I wanted one thing, but God has willed another thing - and what God has willed must be best" "
-- So from your own reply it seems that the Quran indeed authorizes wife beating.
"With all this, he stipulated in his sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage, shortly before his death, that beating should be resorted to only if the wife "has become guilty, in an obvious manner, of immoral conduct", and that it should be done "in such a way as not to cause pain (ghayr mubarrih)"
-- From that paragraph the prophet too authorized it with a condition, but how do you you beat someone in such a way that the person doesn't feel pain. What's the point of such punishment? Lastly beating with toothbrush and all those methods prescribed were not mentioned in the Quran. The Quran is pretty clear about it as far as I am concerned, from what I understand from the English translation.
Surat An-Nisa' [4:34] - The Noble Qur'an - القرآن الكريم

They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.

This word can be translated into several words in English.
Strike them
Belittle them
Let out
lock out
When translated from Arabic some sentences dont make sense in other languages.
My Arabic teacher told me that here it can easily mean strike them.
Strike them in Arabic has been used for divorce.
Another meaning is lock out could easily mean to tell them to get out of house.
Some people just find it convenient to use term beat them specially after some Saudi sheikh issued a fatwa to legitimise beating of women.
So unless you understand quran then dont quote it to satisfy your own personal vendata against muslims.
