Muslims say that Islam protects women. Its idea of protecting women however is not at all different from abusing women.
The Council of Islamic Ideology has proposed allowing a man to 'lightly beat' his wife if she does not 'dress as he desires', refuses to have sex, or fails to take a bath after her period.
The 20-member council is a constitutional body of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, but can only advise the government rather than make laws.
Its latest proposals come as part of its own women protection bill, after it rejected Punjab province's controversial Protection of Women against Violence Act, branding it un-Islamic.
Here's the Islamic idea of protecting women.
It suggests that women can be beaten if they refuse to have sex without a religious excuse... Women should also be beaten for not wearing hijabs, or for speaking so loudly that strangers can hear them, it recommends.
Just wait till you see the Islamic idea of protecting Christians in Pakistan. It's a lot like this but with more murder.
