[quote=Anonymous]I know this is a controversial and disputed verse. I was reading an article wherein the author said that when the verse says "beat" (also translated as "scourge"), what is meant is actual "gently tapping". But, how do you get "gentle tapping" from "beat/scourge". In addition, the verse tells the husband to "beat" his wife if she is being disobediant - how would "gently tapping" her do any good in bringing her back to obediance? If my husband was gently tapping me, it might annoy me, but it certainly wouldn't make me do what he says. How do you, as a Muslim, interpret that verse?[/quote]
