“He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife,” said defense attorney Julie Clark. “He culturally believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife.”
Not just culturally, but religiously: “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.” (Qur’an 4:34)
