Peace to all,

Her translation makes more sense to me but I dont know arabic at all, what do others think it according to their understanding.

Her website for the translation is here

I have been in contact with her in the past via email, but I have not read her translation in full.

Very interesting. Great for women if this can take hold.

Just for women? Do you think that beating the more vulnerable one is not bad for the beater? The beaten bears the physical pain, the beater bears the moral corruption, only they are not conscious of it.

[Samia]

Although I agree with the interpretation, but I am uncomfortable with the justification that lead to it. I mean, her reason why it can't be "beat them" is that the prophet did not beat his wives! Such weak justification can easily backfire with a "Perhaps because he did not "fear their nushooz"!
