Where did you get this from. . .

Is it from an authoritative collection (such as Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim) because I am not sure any contain a narration stating that women will be transferred from Hell to Heaven to serve as "sex slaves."

Maybe you are referring to Hoor al-Ayn (celestial beings in Paradise) who are said to be servants of the saved.
It's from an hadith
A good hadith indeed

This is a simple issue.

The bible admonish believing spouse to stay in their marriage with an unbeliever if the later wants the marriage.

A man beating his wife shows he's not interested in that marriage and he's not willing to live with her, thus the believing woman can leave.

In christianity, it is not permissible under any circumstances to beat your wife not even with a toothbrush or piece of grass as we have in Islam.

beating your wife is a clear sign u are not a christian and your wife has no reason to stay.

1 corinthians 7
12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.

Where's the blasphemy and how do you literally kill?

I only oppose Christians.

Can you show the way out biblically for a Christian who is being ill-treated by his/her spouse in terms of domestic violence?

From your quote, Paul himself gave the advice that divorce should not be based on spousal religion yet he in another verse says:

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 2 Corinthains 6:14

So what changed?

Paul permitted marriage yoke between a Christian and a non-Christian and forbids divorce in this case!
But you said divorce is permitted in case of domestic violence.So how does domestic violence becomes more than not practising Chritianity?


Also, domestic violence can be from either spouse and it's not only relegated to beating or physical abuse.

How do Christian women get out of domestic violence?
1. Matthew 19:3-9 (Jesus on Divorce)
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.
And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.”
(Matthew 19:8-9, NIV)
2. Mark 10:2-12 (Jesus’ Teaching on Divorce)
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
(Mark 10:11-12, NIV)
In the Gospels, Jesus Christ does not teach that divorce is a sin. Instead, He speaks instead of remarriage being a potential sin for those already divorced, and even those about to marry for the first time. undecided
Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32
31 “It was also said, ‘Any man who divorces his wife must give her a written notice of divorce.’
32 But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, is causing his wife to be guilty of adultery. And whoever marries a divorced woman is guilty of adultery. - Matthew 5 vs 31 - 32
Matthew 19 vs 7 - 9
7 The Pharisees asked, “Then why did Moses give a command allowing a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce?”
8 Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning.
9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for the problem of sexual sin, and marries another woman is guilty of adultery.” - Matthew 19 vs 7 - 9
Mark 10 vs 10- 12
10 Later, when the followers and Jesus were in the house, they asked him again about the question of divorce. 
11 He said, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman has sinned against his wife. He is guilty of adultery. 
12  And the woman who divorces her husband and marries another man is also guilty of adultery.” - Mark 10 vs 10- 12
Luke 16 vs 18
18 “Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is guilty of adultery. And the man who marries a divorced woman is also guilty of adultery.” - Luke 16 vs 18
Matthew 19 vs 12
11 He answered, “This statement is true for some, but not for everyone—only for those who have been given this gift.
12 There are different reasons why some men don’t marry. Some were born without the ability to produce children. Others were made that way later in life. And others have given up marriage because of God’s kingdom. This is for anyone who is able to accept it.” - Matthew 19 vs 11 - 12

4. Malachi 2:16 (God’s View on Divorce)
“I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with violence,” says the Lord of hosts.
“So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.”
(Malachi 2:16, ESV)
5. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (Old Testament Law on Divorce)
“When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some uncleanness in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house...”
(Deuteronomy 24:1, ESV)
As regards the Constitutional Law in the ancient nation of Israel, divorce was not only allowed but encouraged in certain cases. 😒

Yes, it is a fact that in Malachi, it is written that YHWH hates divorce. However, that does not mean that divorce is not allowed in His Law, nor does it make divorce a sin in any case. The Law allowed men and women to pursue divorce in the case of incompatibility, with certain exceptions. 😒

Last I checked, domestic violence and martial rape is allowed in Islam so I wonder what problem you have with domestic violence or are you now a woke Muslim?

If you would ever pay close attention to the context of the book of Malachi where that came from, you would find that YHWH said that in regards to his marriage to his Israel. (Yes,the entire book of Malachi is directed, not at individuals but the Priests whom He established as the government over his people.) Following that you will find that when He said He hates divorce, He literally meant divorcing of His nation, Israel. (In the book of Isaiah, YHWH made reference to his assumed divorce from her, Israel.) He hates divorce is a reiteration of His forever Covenant with Israel. He is there God and they are His people forever. This message is repeated time and time again through His prophets. 🥱🥱

1 This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, you say that I divorced your mother, Jerusalem. But where is the legal paper that proves I divorced her? My children, did I owe money to someone? Did I sell you to pay a debt? No, you were sold because of the bad things you did. Your mother was sent away because of the bad things you did.
2 I came home and found no one there. I called and called, but no one answered. Do you think I cannot get you back? Do you think I cannot save you? Look, if I gave the command, the ocean would dry up! I can turn rivers into a desert. The fish would die without water, and their bodies would rot.
3 I can make the skies dark. I can cover the skies in darkness as black as sackcloth.” - Isaiah 50 vs 1 - 3

I don't know about what religious people would rather do in their own lives but again, as I showed you, divorce was never sin in both the old and new Covenants.🥱🥱

As a matter of fact, in the new Covenant, marriage is not considered more of a cultural choice individuals make. It is not encouraged. (Your marriage is of tos world and not of the Kingdom of God.) For those those who are in this world but not of this world, foregoing the traditions of this world is of greatest benefit. 🥱

What do you mean his opinion? Jesus Christ of Israel said He and His Father are one and that He did His Father's Will implying He followed that which His father had laid down for all of Israel which he happens to be a part of. 🥱

I posted all of Jesus Christ of Israel's commandments regarding divorce earlier where you pretended you understood well that he indeed did not consider divorce as sin/crime/unlawful against YHWH. 🥱🥱
