[Cicero]

I suspect that for Saudis, it’s “abuse” if a wife does ANYTHING but knuckle under to her husband completely. The article is a bit vague, but that seems to be what is meant.

If a wife answers back or hesitates to perform any command from her husband, that’s “abuse.”

Perhaps in a few cases it might extend to real abuse, like adultery. But the payback is that the husband gets to stone her and cut off her head—which is not “abuse.”

Just my take on it. I’m glad to say I’ve never had any first-hand experience with Saudi Arabia, and never intend to.

I’ll bet it’s way higher in Western societies.

Some women resort to witchcraft to gain complete control over their husbands.

Uh, all women do. To the human male, the classical feminine form is truly bewitching.

But it's not a terrible thing to be bewitched.

What a bunch of pansies! They live in terror of women, even after constructing their entire religion culture and law to keep women down!
