Hasbinbad fails to acknowledge that the couple is from Saudi Arabia and culturally domestic abuse isn't "abuse" there and a normative of their social and religious beliefs

Thus guy is in jail and wife is therefore ostracized and shamed in their community because they put the blame on her.

Hasbinbad is therefore culturally insensitive because he applies his western logic and ethics and impresses them upon other people.

Hasbinbad is therefore just as ethnocentric as the rest of rural Mississippi just not as overt as spouting off the word "******" in a Wal-Mart

Thanks Hasbinbad, for all the subtle racism

Females DO think it's acceptable in that culture, why would you think otherwise? In some sections of that society it's shameful if the man doesn't beat his wife because that means he doesn't care enough to punish her behavior.

Interview any Saudi woman young or old and they would tell you that if their husband did not behave as such towards them it shows that he doesn't care for them.

Open your mind and let those thousand years worth of Christian moral superiority leak out
Abacab, I am not a cultural relativist.

Some things are wrong.

Domestic abuse is one (of many) of those things. I don't care what culture you're from, if you're beating your wife in the house next to mine (or another place), I will do what I can to stop that from happening, including talking to you, calling the authorities, or stopping you myself. Cultural relativism is an artifact of far left philosophy which is great in theory and can be applied to many situations, but in practice when violence is involved, it becomes justification.
