The UAE’s highest judicial body says a man can beat his wife and young children as long as the beating leaves no physical marks. The court made the ruling earlier this month in the case of a man who left cuts and bruises on his wife and adult daughter after a beating. It says the man was guilty of harming the women but noted that the laws allow for “discipline” if no marks are left. It also says children who have reached “adulthood” — approximately puberty — cannot be struck.
