If your wife spends too much money on clothes... slap her, it's ok!

A saudi judge ruled that men whose wives spend too much money are allowed to slap them. It was reported that Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 ($320) to his wife and she spends 900 riyals ($240) to purchase an abaya (the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear) from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment." This is bad for the economy because this means less spending. But I guess this is one more right men have over women. The US could adopt some of these policies, especially men who experience women who have urges to spend spend spend. I think that this is called shopaholic. So next time you see a women spending to much, after she says she can't help it and she needs to see a therapist, a good old whack across the face may be helpful (entirely sarcastic). This is another attempt for a middle eastern coutnern to lower women's rights inside the strict guidlines they have there. There have been many domestic issues made public about men abusing women in recent years. This is absolutely astonishing and I could never imagine this type of court ruling happening in modern day America.
