{{PortalArticle|image=A scene from submission.jpg|summary=|title=Wife Beating in Islamic Law|description=Wife-beating is instructed by the Qur'an and the Hadiths, and has been an accepted part of Islam law since its inception. Quran 4:34 states that men are in charge of women and that husbands may, among other things, beat their wives in some circumstances. Muhammad seems to have disapproved of severe beatings, but with this caveat reaffirmed the command of wife-beating in his farewell sermon, and himself once struck one of his wives painfully in the chest. Three of the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs are also reported to have slapped or beaten women, sometimes in Muhammad's presence. Because of its many endorsements within Islamic scripture, wife-beating is permitted by the majority of Muslim scholars and leaders (though in its mildest form is limited, somewhat nonsensically, to tapping with a small stick). This has led to domestic violence being permitted under law in several Islamic states or being largely ignored by the authorities.}} | {{PortalArticle|image=A scene from submission.jpg|summary=|title=Wife Beating in Islamic Law|description=Wife-beating is instructed by the Qur'an and the Hadiths, and has been an accepted part of Islam law since its inception.

{{PortalArticle|title=Slavery in Islamic Law|summary=|image=OttomanEunuchsConcubines.jpg |description=Slavery, while no longer permitted in the modern context by most scholars, was a major theme of Islamic jurisprudence. The Quran permits sexual intercourse with those women "whom your right hands possess", and Caliphs from the Umayyads to the Ottomans enjoyed harems full of female concubines, attended by male eunuch slaves.}} | |||
