UAE Court rules that it's fine to beat your family---just hide the bruises.

At the risk of being accused of pedantry, the headline is misleading.

The court did not instruct the accused to 'hide the bruises'. The court said the defendant had gone too far by causing physical injuries.

I'm not defending a system that allows individuals to beat others. But there is a substantial difference between the court saying you can beat your family with unlimited brutality but hide the injuries, and a court that convicts a man of going way over the line in his brutality.

A completely disingenuous headline, both on the OP and the actual article.

Men should control their wives. Girls should be married off once they are able to have children, this is commonly at 12, 13, or 14. Then they should be controlled by their husband.
