This will be an interesting case as Nigeria operates two different constitutions.
The penal code which is practiced in the north,which most Muslims regard as the authentic constitution gives a man the right to beat his wife.
While the criminal code which is for Southern Nigeria criminalizes wife-beating.

FaceTanke:

since she is from Ilorin, why is she against polygamy?

How many wives does her father have? Her brothers too...


You do not have to beat her tho

Brother, that's a very far example. Just think about siblings of the same mama the same papa, like five in number from childhood to old age, where one parental property connects them together. Next, wait till they are old or when their parents are no more.

If this scenario portends a future problem for the siblings, then, you can imagine polygamy.

All these encouragement is just to help the men who are angry with their wives to be calming down because trying to solve one stupid anger or petty vendetta problem, you will cause a bigger, permanent one that will outlive you and rob all of peace of mind.

The same Islam that permits polygamy also permits wife beating.

So by Islamic sharia, Jarus has no case to answer.

Prophet Muhammad permitted wife beating and Allah commanded wife beating

"Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.
Sunan Abu Dawud 11:2142

"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."
-Quran 4:34

Thank you. Wife beating is Islamic

"Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.
Sunan Abu Dawud 11:2142

"Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

Ooni of Ife, the Onirisa and custodian of Yoruba tradition is polygamous. Most of Yoruba obas are polygamous.

Now, slowly, tell me about the Yoruba culture on polygamy again.

Ooni Of Ife wrote the precept of Ifa that says okan soso lobinrin dunmo nile oko?

From the first quote, its also sunah to beat your wife, do you?

descarado:

Well, Nigeria is a secular state and part of UN.
That solves it.
We also have laws for wife beater.
Any beater be it man to man, man to woman, woman to woman, woman to man or adult to children

I don’t beat my own wife because I’m not bound by Sunnah or the Quran but those who are under the sharia law and who hold the Quran and sunnah as religious books and laws are committing no crime if they beat their wives

Are you aware that Nigeria is also part of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ?

Laying your hands on your wife is condemnable. There are ways you can punish her to get her brain in the right direction

No child of polygamous home is happy. None.
It's all about the greediness of the father that don't love his children.

Let the father die and you will see how psychologically messed up those kids are.
A friend from a polygamous background refused to marry till date. He hated his late dad with passion. Mum is second wife. Wonder how the kids of first wife will feel.
Nothing good cones out of polygamy except massaging ego and the ladies chasing after money and name.
Regina Daniel is a perfect example
She succeeded in chasing away the one she met cos she don't wanna share.
Archaic culture that has outlived itself in this modern time.

It depends if you are in a Muslim country governed by sharia in which case it may be Sunnah/legal to beat your wife. Notice I am talking about the legality here in relation to your question.

Now for Nigeria, the law is the constitution, and beating of wife is considered an assault which is prosecutable under the Nigerian penal code.

I the two cases above, I would never beat a woman under any circumstances except my life is in danger and I am using extreme measures to defend myself.

dchamp234:

Most of you who come online and shout walk away are the real woman beaters. A man will always be a man, a woman should always know her place in marriage, maybe you're not married yet, no man enjoys beating his wife but most time you don't have a choice than to reset her brain to function normal again. I'm not in support of the beating but walking away is not that easy.

My brother, our law dares Allah if it alienate wife beating, and by so doing we are never a slave of the Arabs or any Semitic laws. Remember that the Arabs were mushriks, (illiterates), when the Yoruba actually have a system of social guidance that passes as law from time, in form of ifa, which predates the advent of Islam in Yoruba land.

Now listen to what Yoruba proverbs says: "obinrin re seo, won nbe o loo nii gbo, se o fe kan an loogun ni" (your woman offended you, they are begging you and you refuse to listen, do you want to use a weapon on her?) So, touching a woman is as good as using a weapon on her or lying against her that she's using a charm on you.

If you wont beat a woman, you are not a good companion because you are only picking the one that will,make you look good to the next woman on your list.

This one used his fingers to tweet himself into problems.

Why not leave the part that you beat her, until she alleges? Now that you guys have reconciled, how are you going to recover your brand, even if the court sets you free?

Seun should be blamed

You friend is having Marital issue and you deliberately brought the case online.

I agree with you. There is no reason to raise your hands on a woman. That is even considered criminal by most laws and I do not condone or advocate that position by any means. I never saw my dad beat my mom for one single day and do not support violence in any way.

I do not beat a woman, wife, child or a man. I am a strong advocate in communication and dialogue to resolve conflicts.

HellVictorinho6:


How far bro

seunmsg:


With what I’ve seen so far, it’s better to have an enemy than a friend like seun. Jarus is not even under arrest. He was simply invited by the police but Seun and nlfpmod quickly moved this to front page without any confirmation. To what end? A former moderator who still promote the forum for that matter.

Thanks very much dear brother. religion must bring out the best in us, not the worst. Either the indigenous or the foreign one. There are flaws we have to abandon and move forward. But that notwithstanding, it never means modern man is less crazy, but that at least, we should get it right, family wise, or else the other crazy set of people will use that as an advantage for their pride.

Sometimes I wonder if Jarus is a teenager or a proper adult.

The DV case is one that should be investigated thoroughly and if found guilty, made to pay the price.

Aside from that, I hope the guy gets someone good people to sit him down and talk to him, he talks too much, loves the clout and showing off unnecessarily.

Has a lot of growing up to do.
