"Light" Wife Beating

[Ramihs97]

[Ramihs97]

Guys, Question.

Does Surah 4:6 imply we can only consummate marriage until we reach puberty? Or is it only for orphans ?

The word used is balagho. From my knowledge Balagho and Baloogh both mean puberty. However, in linguistics. Does the word balgho flow with the context or would it be taken out of proportion ? The only translators that used the words Puberty were Shakir and the Italian translation of the Qur'an.

Light smacking would be on the body parts of the woman but not to a stage of causing serious injury.
It is forbidden in Islam to hit the head or face of human.

[Ramihs97]

Osama, you might want to add that quote from el rasool pbuh since it is a plain and clear evident truth as to beating the wife lightly with no sugar coating (which i also thought was the case)

@Submit Thanks bro, but what about the puberty question? How could it apply to Aisha r.a? as in how do we know from her that she has menstruated and became an adolescent ?

[Ramihs97]

Bump. Osama, this is an update in regards to wife beating should be light and it is not the translators sugar-coating it. Evidence from one of the earliest accounts of our Prophet p.b.u.h is evidence.
