[US News] An Islamic group advised the government of Pakistan to allow men to "lightly beat" their wives, and some women are having none of it.The recommendation, which came from the Council of Islamic Ideology, a body that the BBC says "advises the government on religious aspects of the law and society," is part of a larger "women's protection bill" that also forbids women from attending receptions for visiting foreign dignitaries,and female nurses from caring for male patients.
According to the BBC, the CII's recommendations to the government are not binding and have been ignored in the past.
In response to the proposed bill, photographer Fahhad Rajper released 12 photographs of Pakistani women on Facebook and Twitter on Sunday that included the hashtag #TryBeatingMeLightly, Mic reports.
