Shocking Video: Qatari Sociologist Films ‘How Islam Teaches You to Beat Your Wife’

Qatari sociologist Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khazra purportedly created a video demonstrating “how to beat one’s wife” in accordance with Islam, and posted it to YouTube on March 29. Thanks to an English translation of excerpts by The Middle East Media Research Institute, Al-Khazra’s teachings remain available for all to see (as of this writing), as they have been for weeks. . .

In the clips provided by MEMRI on April 3, Al-Khazra explains to viewers that it is not necessary for a man to beat his wife, but if he does, “he gives her a disciplinary beating out of love,” reiterating, “He loves her.”

“Now, let’s see how Islam teaches how to beat your wife,” the instructor says, and uses a young boy posing as “the wife” in his tutorial for proper technique.

“How should a husband beat his wife?” Al-Khazra asks, rhetorically. “First, he must ‘admonish her’ — in other words, he should advise her. Then, he should refrain from sharing a bed with her. If all of this doesn’t help, we start the beating as a last resort.” . . .

Then comes the physical part. Al-Khazra continues to berate his volunteer while showing the acceptable level of wife-beating by swatting the boy’s arms. “See how the beating is done?” he asks his audience, telling them, “The beating is light, brothers.”
