ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A powerful constitutional body in Pakistan proposed legislation last week that would allow husbands to "lightly beat" their wives who decline sex or refuse to wear what their mates prefer.
The Council of Islamic Ideology says it has to finalize the 160-page draft before it is sent to lawmakers in the Punjab province, the country's most populated region, for approval.
As well as beatings for wives who decline to have sex with their husbands, the document also advocates men use "limited violence" on spouses who do not bathe after intercourse or during menstruation.
The council — known as CII — went so far as to provide guidelines on how to inflict the beatings.
"Hit her in areas where her skin is not too thick and not too thin," CII leader Maulana Muhammad Khan Sherani told a press conference in Islamabad on Thursday. "Do not use shoes or a broom on the head, or hit her on the nose or eyes."

Don't ever tell me this is normal!!!
It's normal for a slave culture.
I believe in the person that oversees human rights in the United Nations is from Pakistan. Figures.
It is the wife's duty to be there for her husband in all religions.
6:50, under the threat of a beating? If that's your take on things, there are many countries that support your ideals. I suggest you apply for a passport and pick one.
Have a nice flight.
6:50 Not through abuse or in contradiction to Gods word in the Christian faith.
You win the dumbest comment of the day award.
6:50 you are way off base. There is no where in the bible that I have found that a man can beat his wife. If it is please tell me where? Like dressing up the women to cover from head to toe. This is crazy. This is the U.S.A., we do not believe this way and never will. I am not changing my religious beliefs for all these immigrants coming here.
