'Beat me once a week' says Iranian woman
2004-09-22
An Iranian woman, beaten every day by her husband, asked a court to tell him only to beat her once a week. Maryam, the middle-age woman, said she did not want to divorce her husband because she loved him. "Just tell him to beat me once a week ... Beating is part of his nature and he cannot stop it," Maryam told the court.
sheeesh! talk about enabling...
"... and I really like the part where he gets out the Jolly Green Giant Creamed Corn..."
The Tehran court found the man guilty and banned him from beating the wife, the paper said. "If I do not beat her, she will not be scared enough to obey me," the husband said.
"I'll only be half a man if I cannot beat the crap out of my wife"
"A year from now she'll have thrown out my leather chaps and she'll be making me bark like a dog!"

#13  I asked this woman why she stays with such an abusive husband.

She replied; "Beats me." [rimshot]

#12  Beat me once
and beat me twice
and beat me once again.

It's been a long, long time.

#10  "He wont be very gentle,
he'll beat you every night
But only when he's sober;
So you're alright!"

#8  I got a better plan. How about you let me shoot him once.

I got an even better idea. You or me shoot him, then she beats me; but not so rough :oD

#3  Reminds me of a (third-hand) story about a woman from southern Africa who complained to a confidante that she knew her husband was seeing someone else, because he didn't beat her any more.
