Jewish, Islamic, Christian, and Catholic religions all traditionally believed it was within a husbandโs purview to discipline his wife in more or less the same manner as he might discipline and control any other of his properties, including servants, slaves, and animals; of course, the holy textsโKoran, Bible, and Talmudโfrom which such beliefs stem were simply interpretations by (of course) men of the time. Some of these interpretations even gave instruction on the manner of wife beating, such as avoiding direct blows to the face, or making sure not to cause lasting injury.
