So similar to Islam, it appears the Buddha above approved of physically threatening a wife, similar to as written in the Koran.mikenz66 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 2:11 amShe has no anger when threatened with violence by the rod.
Without hate or anger,
she endures her husband and does what he says.
A man’s wife of this sort
is called a wife and a bondservant.
But the kinds of wives here called
mother, sister, friend, and bondservant;
steadfast in their own morality, restrained for a long time,
when their body breaks up they go to a good place.”
Sujātā, these are the seven kinds of wife that a man can have. Which one of these are you?” “Sir, from this day forth may the Buddha remember me as a wife like a bondservant.”
ABC host Yassmin Abdel-Magied says Islam is the "the most feminist religion".
Keysar Trad, president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils says she is right: the Koran says men should beat wives only as a "last resort".
There has been some misquoting in the media of what I quoted.
Here is the Quran (4:34):
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
Here is how Sheikh Yousef al-Qaradhawi, head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, says it must be interpreted:
If the husband senses that feelings of disobedience and rebelliousness are rising against him in his wife, she should try his best to rectify her attitude by kind words… If this is not helpful, he should sleep apart from her… If this approach fails, it is permissible for him to beat her lightly with his hands, avoiding her face and other sensitive areas… To be specific, one may beat only to safeguard Islamic behavior and if he (the husband) sees deviation only in what she must do or obey in relation to him.
