If you're in an abusive relationship, get out

"Salaam sister" was the incoming message, followed with a query,"Is beating the disobedient wife in Islam allowed?
"Wa'alaikumussalam," I respond. "To physically hurt a person? No, not allowed. Did it happen to you?"
"Not allowed? Physically beating the wife is not allowed?" came the next query.
"NOT allowed," was my firm response.
 I shared with the enquirer this link - Wife beating is not allowed in Islam in any case! - http://www.islamawareness.net/Wife/beating1

"If you're in an abusive relationship,  get out.  No matter what."

Just remember that abuse comes in various forms from verbal, economic depravation to physical. No woman with any religious faith should have to put up with it.....
