(Newswire.net — April 28, 2016) — Khaled Al-Saqaby, Saudi family therapist, released a video that appeals to men to first try solving the conflict by talking. If it does not work, he advises the man to “give up of his wife in bed,” and if this does not work, husbands, he says, should physically discipline women.
The video was recorded in February 2016 but not released till this April via the Washington DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute.
Khaled Al-Saqaby said that many women want to live life on the same level as their husbands. “This is a very grave problem”, he said and recommends the first step is to remind the woman of her duty according to Allah, and the man’s rights.
“Allah said: As for those on whose part you fear disobedience – advise them”, said the therapist, sitting in an unknown woodland location.
The second step is forsaking her in bed.
“Here too, some husbands make mistakes, which might exacerbate the problem even further. If, for example, the husband leaves his bed and goes to another house, everybody knows that there is a problem. The point is to discipline the wife, and not air your dirty laundry in public,” he said and added “You should stay in bed with her, but turn your back to her, or else sleep in a separate bed in the same room.”
The third step is to beat the wife.
“But, Allah willing, we will cross this bridge safely”, Khaled Al-Saqaby said in his video.
The goal is to discipline a woman, not to vent anger, explained the family therapist from Saudi Arabia.
He advises husbands not to beat wives with handbands, or with sticks, or any sharp objects. Disobedient women should receive beatings with something like a toothpick, or with a linen handkerchief, recommended Khaled Al-Saqaby. After the beating, the wife will see that she has sinned against her husband.
Khaled Al-Saqaby stated the reasons why sometimes a husband may beat his wife is “Sometimes a woman makes mistakes that might lead her husband to beat her. I’m sad to say that there are some women who say: ‘Go ahead, if you are a real man, beat me’. She provokes him.”
