I live, with my husband and child, in my father-in-law’s house where he is the master of the house. My husband beats me on minor issues, saying that it is recommended in Islam to beat his wife.
My parents-in-law are aware of the matter but they don't reprimand their son, thinking that he is an Islamic man who leads life according to Islamic law.
I want to know what the Shari'ah says about wife-beating.
