The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) Pakistans 20-member constitutional body recently proposed a bill recommending that men bestow a light beating onto their defiant wives. A husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands and refuses to dress up as per his desires; turns down demand of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take bath after intercourse or menstrual periods, the CII bill says, according to Pakistans Express-Tribune newspaper.
