There is a verse in the Quran that allows for a man to beat his wife. Islam in general treats wives more like properties and possession rather than an equal partner in the household.
That should not be surprising - even in the West, women were definitely not equal partners in marriage until rather recently. In English law, the wife was not legally entitled to her own bank account; it would be in her husband’s name instead. Islam is only treating women as women used to be treated (that’s why they might be “coveted” - they were property.)
I do not know much about Sharia law, but the judge rendering of the judgment could be always influenced by the spirit of the Quran. I am not surprised at the least if he condoned wife beating, only that it’s truly despicable to condone thing such as this. If a husband considers his wife’s body as his own, he would not want to cause pain to it.
