Corporal punishment and wife beating in the Western World and the BBC headline the news but when its a Sharia Law ruling not a word on the BBC

The Mail reports:

'Husbands are allowed to beat their wives and children - as long as they don’t leave any physical marks, an Islamic court in the United Arab Emirates has ruled.

The astonishing legal ruling gives all husbands and fathers in the ultra-rich Gulf state the 'right to discipline' female family members if they have first attempted reconciliation.

The judgement was made by one of the UAE’s most senior judge in the case of a man found guilty of slapping his wife and kicking his daughter.

Chief Justice Falah al Hajeri said: 'Although the law permits the husband to use his right to discipline, he has to abide by the limits of this right.

'If the husband abuses this right to discipline, he cannot be exempted from punishment.'

Mr al Hajeri went on to explain that one of the ways of determining whether a man had breached this limit was to look for physical traces of beating.

While the ruling was greeted with anger by many Arab world commentators, others claimed it is a ‘real-life compromise’ between the competing demands of the petro-state’s highly Westernised population and its conservative Muslim heritage.'

Why are the pro-feminist BBC not up in arms over this ruling? Do they not care about the rights of Muslim women? Are Muslim women's rights subservient to that of Islam? Because as of now there is nothing on BBC's Middle East News.
