Although there are calls for the law to change<\/a>, as of now, it is still legal<\/a> in Canada to discipline your disobedient child by spanking him.<\/p>\n

But what about disobedient wives?<\/p>\n

Marriage counselling that included spanking \u2013 or \u201clightly hitting\u201d \u2013 a \u201cdisobedient wife\u201d outside the context of Islam would, in this day and age, be risible, a deserved invitation to universal denunciation and derision.<\/p>\n

I doubt that Muslims of Calgary<\/a> have offered this sober advice for promoting marital harmony in jest or in a spirit of self-mockery, though: Islam isn\u2019t much given to introspection let alone satire, humour – or having any fun at all, really.

The posting dated Sept. 29 on muslimsofcalgary.ca<\/a> appears to be an English-translated summary of two books written in Arabic by Sheikh Mohammed Abdelhaleem Hamed, titled \u201cHow to Make Your Husband Happy\u201d and \u201cHow to Make Your Wife Happy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
