IRAN - Beat me just once a week, wife asks
 

An Iranian woman has taken her husband to court in a bid to secure a judicial order for him to beat her once a week instead of every night, press reports said on Wednesday.

"My husband is violent and beats me virtually every evening. I thought that he would stop after the birth of our child, but in fact it has got worse," the woman, identified only as Maryam J., was quoted as saying in court by the Mardomsalari paper.

"I don't want a divorce or compensation. My husband is violent. It is in his nature. I just want him to promise to beat me only once a week," the woman argued, reportedly causing the judge and audience to burst out into laughter.
Summoned to explain himself, the husband confessed to beating up his wife "every evening".

"I hit her because a wife should be afraid of her husband, and this way I oblige her to respect me," said the man, who was not identified.

That is the wonderful world we live in.

Thats nice.

Morons..

I'm so moving to Iran.

Stupid bitch should get beat every day.

Fucking savages.

And I don't wanna hear any PC bullshit about how we need to open up ourselves to other cultures.

Fuck the middle east...filled with nothing but savages.

Dude there are many chicks here in the US that get their ass beat all the time as well. This kind of shit knows no borders.

only pussies beat women

Try reading what I quoted.

Yeah tons of chicks get beat here all the time, but you don't have judges laughing at them.

True but you will find tons of folks here laugh at her all the same. I really don't blame them for laughing, if some chick came up to me and said she only wanted to get beat once a week I would crack a smile and think she was on crack. I agree they have tons of fucked up people over there but so do we.

Give it a break..shit.

You wouldn't even have this court case going on in America...a woman asking to only be beat once a week.

Why? Because while it does happen your ass would get carted off to jail if found out.

Over there it's pretty much the norm...I'll say it again they are savages and no PC bullshit will make me think otherwise.

Truth is plenty beatings, rape and violence happens right here in this country and many times the victims don't get their day in court :2 cents:

how do they pick their judges

wow

Fuck would people read what I fucking quoted?!!!

It has nothing to do with the beatings...why would you think I'm so stupid to not know that shit goes on here?

I'm talking about the fucking retarded judge laughing at the woman...jesus fucking christ.

Easy there chief, no offense intended and you're right, yes their humanitarian record in the region is shit, particularly as it applies to women.

Well honestly it's so fucking condescending when people start to bring that kind of shit up...as if I don't know women get beat here in the US.

Kind of assuming I'm borderline mentally retarded.

:helpme

Anyone who hits a woman is a punk, and deserves to have his ass beat by a REAL man. That guy is nothing but a coward, and any society that would laugh at a womans request for fewer beatings is sick! To him, and them i say. :321GFY

Maybe, but nevertheless it´s not allowed in civilized countries - neither in the US nor in Europe - while in Iran it is a "right" of a husband. That´s the problem.

show me this so called article?

ouch

so called article

It's even worse in India where it's quite common to disfigure women with acid over things like adultery or refusing pre-arranged marriage. Pretty fucked up..

Until about 100 years ago when a man died it was quit common for the wife to be cremated with the husband.

I find it interesting that you left out the last sentence, the verdict and final outcome:
