What about Beating Women in the Quran?

The first thing to understand is that the Quran does not promote or encourage violence against women in any way. In fact, Islam places a great deal of emphasis on treating women with respect, dignity, and kindness. The Quran explains that men and women are equal in the Eyes of Allah, and that both are entitled to equal rights and opportunities.

The term “striking or beating” in the Quran is often used in a symbolic sense, rather than a physical one. In many cases, the word is used to describe the idea of giving a stern warning or admonition, rather than physical violence. The Quran discourages the use of harsh language or physical violence, even in cases where a husband may be deeply upset with his wife.
