It's legal for Muslims to beat their wives in Germany
Don't you just LOVE the relativistic morals of today's liberals? Not only do they want to bend over backwards for the terrorists out to kill us all, but they want to bend and twist the laws to make their barbaric treatment of women legal.

What's next, legalization of foot binding so as to avoid offending Chinese sensibilities?

A DIVORCE court judge ruled a man was RIGHT to beat and abuse his wife — because the Muslim holy book allowed it.

The terrified partner, a 26-year-old mum of two, filed for a quickie divorce after her husband hit her and even threatened to kill her.

But the judge in Frankfurt, Germany, rejected her application — quoting a Koran verse which some have controversially interpreted to mean a man can beat his wife if she acts in an “unchaste” fashion.

The woman judge said it was “a religious thing” because both the wife and husband were from Morocco — home to many Muslims.

She added: “The exercise of the right to castigate does not fulfil the hardship criteria defined by German law.”

But the wife’s lawyer, Barbara Becker-Rojczyk filed a claim saying the judge had a conflict of interest and should have stepped down.

She said: “The judge seems to be saying that the right to castigate means a husband can beat his wife.

“Apparently the judge deems it unchaste when my client adapts a Western lifestyle.” The judge has since been excused from the case.
