Another Question That Needs To Be Asked

Submitted by AnneM (United States), Jun 7, 2006 at 09:01

There is another question that needs to be asked. On the issue of Islam and women, why is it that in Koran 4:34 that it says towards the end of the verse that husbands are allowed to beat their wives. So does the Koran gives its blessings to wife beating? Once again, many thanks to all the responses.
