These hadiths certainly exist, and are discussed earlier in our article above. It seems that Muhammad made attempts to moderate the severity of the beatings (see section of that name above), but Taylor fails to mention that in the very same hadith she quotes, while at one time Muhammad forbade wife beating, he later changed his mind on the advice of Umar (see hadith section above). Clearly it would have been better had he not allowed wife beating again. | |||
