Fernsehunterricht: Wie schlage ich meine Frau am besten?

A Saudi television programme has been giving teenagers lessons in how to beat their wives. The cleric who presents it, Muhammad Al-’Arifi, clearly doesn’t share Cherie Blair’s view that the Koran is against wife-beating. On the contrary, Al-’Arifi explains in detail how to go about it.

“If [a husband] beats her, the beatings must be light and must not make her face ugly. He must beat her where it will not leave marks,” he says.

In fact, the beating can serve a purely symbolic purpose – in which case the husband can use a toothpick, just to make his point. (That must be a curious sight.)

Little Green Footballs has the video, from a Ramadan show for young adults, and also includes a transcript. Here it is, in full.
