The woman is a disgrace

Why did she disobey her husband?, if only she had obeyed him, this wouldn't have happened.

This should be a warning to all married women out there, obey and respect your husband.

A woman should be submissive to her husband, so says the bible. Ephesians 5: 22-23, but since they are Muslims, i don't know what their law states concerning woman disobeying her husband.

Next time she should disobey him and see which one is next.

Two wrongs can never make a right... This is an issue that would have been resolved amicably.

Their level of extremism is on the high... Patient would have solve the issue perfectly

This can only happen in the north where wives are slaves to their husbands and not life partners or soulmates. See his ugly face
