The national television of the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia has aired a video, in which a self-styled Islamic family doctor
is seen teaching men in the country how to 'properly' beat their wives.
The video is believed to have been
aired in the country in early February, 2016. The Kingdom's government
is said to have approved the video, and that is why it was given airtime
on national television.
After airing the
video in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi government released the controversial
video in the United States via the Washington DC-based Middle East Media
Research Institute, in April 2016.
Women activists group describe the
video as nothing less than infuriating.
The
content of the video features the doctor who is said to specialize in
therapy; Khaled Al-Saqaby teaching men how to 'properly' beat their
wives if their [wives] disobey them.
According
to Al-Saqaby, husbands should not immediately attack their wives, but
should discipline them 'properly' first. He then makes it clear that in
marriage, there is nothing like equality, and that men should take
charged and rule the home.
In an event where
women disobey their husbands, Al-Saqaby teaches in the video that the
men should follow the steps below in making sure that the women are
corrected.
"The first step is to remind her
of your rights and of her duties according to Allah. Then comes the
second step – forsaking her in bed.
The third
step, beating, has to correspond with the necessary Islamic conditions"
before taking action.
The beating should not be performed with a rod,
nor should it be a headband, or a sharp object.
Instead,
husbands should use a 'tooth-cleaning twig or with a handkerchief' to
beat their wife. The wife will feel that she was wrong in the way she
treated her husband," says Al-Saqaby.
Ending
his controversial teaching, Al-Saqaby says his teaching of how to beat
wives is not exhaustive, and that sometimes, men can beat their wives
without following his steps when the women go to the extreme by
disobeying their husbands.
He also blamed the
women for provoking their husbands, expressing shock that some women
are 'stubborn' to the point that only beatings can bring them to order.
"In addition, sometimes a woman makes a
mistake that may lead her husband to beat her. I'm sad to say there are
some women who say 'Go ahead, if you are a real man, beat me.' She
provokes them," he adds in the video.
Critics
of the video say, although some of the teachings Al-Saqaby espoused in
the video concerning how husbands should treat their wives are found in
the Holy Quran, they were used in a context.
They
accuse Al-Saqaby and the Saudi government of being selective with the
verses of the Holy Book in order to satisfy their own interest.
The
author Matt Agorist of the Free Thought Project has chronicled some
verses from the Quran and Hadith to highlight how a religious text can
be used to incite peace or violence; that Islam prohibits or promotes
men beating their wives.
The Hadith is the
record of the sayings and conduct of the Islamic Prophet, Muhammad
during his lifetime. The record was recorded by his disciples and those
known to be close to him.
According to Mr
Agorist, Al-Saqaby teaching on the subject should not be taken serious
because it is full of his own interpretations, in order to serve the
interest of the ruling class of the country.
Some
women groups have also called for the United States government to
condemn the video, as it denigrates womanhood. But neither the State
Department, which is responsible for international relations for the
country, nor any government official from the White House, has commented
on the controversial video.
This is not the
first time the United States has turned a blind eye on happenings in
Saudi Arabia.
Early this year, Saudi Arabia embarked on an exercise of
beheading people who speak against the dictatorial policies of the
country's ruling class. 47 people, including a prominent Shia cleric
Sheikh Nimr Bakir al-Nimr, were beheaded on January 1st, 2016, for
embarking on anti-government activities.
This sparked huge tension in the Islamic World. The United States never commented, or issued a statement, on the beheadings.
