Do you think corporal punishment is acceptable between a husband and a wife?   I mean by this that the wife delivers the discipline.  If you agree, what type of offence would merit this punishment?\n\nPlease include sex, age, and marital status.

He probably deserves it. Looking at you the wrong way is enough to merit punishment. It could be a rainy day and it's probably his fault. That deserves punishment too. Course, I'm a freak so it probably isn't a good idea to listen to me. F/29/S

So, having a girl friend is against your religion, but hitting someone with a metal pipe is not, are you sure you have that right? If you do, then I can say without hesitation that your religion has it wrong. At least the cultural interpretation that is being presented to you. \nIf you live in Canada, it is a criminal offence to use corporal punishment against a child over 16 years and under 3 years, and it is always a criminal offence to use any kind of rod or implement or to strike on the face, head or any vulnerable part of the body.

A legal guardian can delegate the right to discipline the child to his/her spouse, but nowadays hitting a child is often considered child abuse.  Simple spanking is probably all right depending on the age of the child and the severity of the punishment.

f*ck him up. He is asking for an ass wh!ppin. I don't believe in violence except when it comes to standing up for my lady. If you can't do it. get somebody who can.

a spank is a spank. It's only weird people that make spanking bad. If you are messing about what else can he do, if you don't like it then stop messing about and be a stiff, but then you may wonder why you never mess about with your brother :-)

I see nothing wrong with disipline. I personally use all options before I spank my child but my child does not act like that. My daughter will walk up to a kid in a store that is being rude to their parents and tell them that they better be glad they have the parents they do cause hers would spank her nomatter who was around. My hubby and I were in line at the bank and was watching a kid disrespect both his parents and hit his mom. My hubby commented just loud enough for the parents to hear that if that had been our child acting that way in public he would have knocked the living life out of them. The parents heard him and grabbed the child and left.

I'm an atheist, first of all.\nI have a couple of problems with your question:\n-By what standard does the punishment fit or not fit a crime? How can you sum up the cost of adultery, homosexuality, and other sins, since their cost(loss) to society differs based on the culture.\n-You cannot compare stoning with a "possibly future punishment" of lasting torment.

He may not be slapping or punching you, but forcefully grabbing you is physical abuse. If he is verbally, emotionally and mentally, sexually you need to examine whether or not you want to stay married to him. It doesn't sound like he respects you or your wishes. If he did he wouldn't be forcing kisses and hugs on you when you need some space to sort out your feelings. Only you can know when you've had enough and are ready to leave. What you are describing is abuse. You may not want to see that, but I heard your story from hundreds of other women in the 11 years I worked for a domestic violence program. I'm sorry if it upsets you to hear it, but I hate to see any woman treated this way.

All excellent points - and the simple truth is that people **DO** afford criminals more rights than victims. It isn't politically correct to do otherwise.\n\nHowever in the US, a very interesting project has been set up. In short although people cannot be FORCED to submit to corporal punishment - some criminals can VOLUNTEER to be treated in that way under some conditions - and perhaps get reduced jail time in return.\n\nLots of details here http://www.okplus.com/fedup/index.html \n\nVery interestingly, they presently have a ZERO recidivism level for people that have been through their system.\n\nDo not be thrown by the site, the program is still running BUT the website is badly in need of some updating (or was when I last looked)\n\nI think one hangup people have about corporal punishment, is the perceived severity of it. The old UK / USA way of flogging across the back in fact left little more than "shaving nicks" - if it cut at all.\n\nAnyone who has seen too many "Mutiny on the bounty" style films and wishes to disagree should try to remember that the make-up department tends to get more than a little carried away.\n\nWet rope is not sharp enough or dense enough to "lay a mans back open to the bone" Something does not need to cut to be felt ;)\n\nThe scheme mentioned above in fact uses low-voltage cable as a cheap disposable lash material. Like the rope, little or no cutting at all - but apparently the welts are quite tender at the time.\n\nI just wish we had a system like this in the UK too, I think it could be a valuable tool to help people stay out of prison and to reduce the prison population. Nanny-state in the UK though at the moment so not much chance for a while yet.

I never understood why 2 men (or 2 women) who love eachother and are not hurting others should be punished by death BUT Muslims can highly exalt a man (even above Jesus) who married a 9 year old girl. Don't you think a grown man HURTS a 9 year old girl? That would be the one thing that would prevent me from ever being Muslim if there was ever a chance for it in the first place.

In a case like this - raping a 12 week old baby girl entrusted ti his girlfriend to babysit - then i think a prison sentence of any lenght is too lenient. His girlfriend has received a lesser sentence which I think is also wrong. She allowed him to do this awful, sickening thing. The poor baby has been left with horrific internal injuries which mean she will never, ever have a normally functioning body. \nTHE GUY & HIS ACCOMPLICE SHOULD BOTH BE EXECUTED FOR THIS CRIME. I THINK HERE IN THE UK WE ARE WAY TOO LENIENT.

Unfortunately it would seem to me that for the Bibles conception of marriage and how we must behave both parties would need to be of the same mind. In this sick worlf I imagine that more often than not one or the other would take advantage of the other if only one believed the above philosophy. \n\nI have never married. But when I do, I will follow God commandements. I will also make sure my chosen mate lives a life that is pleasing to the Father so we are of a same mind on such issues as these. \n\nIt is sad, but I work in the domestic violence feild and I ahve seen many women taken advantage of and even their pastors use these Bible verses to keep them with their abusers...and sometimes they end up dead. That is not what God intended.

Guess all you can do is to speak with him and let him know that this sort of behaviour and language will not be tolerated nor condonded.  So there will be consequences at home also if he chooses to continue this sort of behaviour.  This form of disrespect is so commonplace now-a-days and I feel so sorry for people who are in the teaching profession.  I remember being a kid and there was corporal punishment both at school and home if this or anything else not deemed proper at school.

aha! the preacher's in town. sir, with due respect it is no one's prerogative to classify sin or non-sin like this. how about sex without consent with your 'legal' partner of the opposite sex (if you strictly follow the 'natural order')? is that all right to do so? and to mention the countries you are talking about, i think people there are as much randy as anywhere else in the world. maybe a little more repressed too. but all that is changing with the societies opening up to the idea of discussion on sex and sexual health of a society. the last thing we want is a pseudo pundit trying to make matters worse for those who feel there is no release.

I believe that same gender marriages should be allowed and I am happily married and not cheating on my spouse.But I do agree with you. Divorce and adultry are blatant attacks on marriage so they should be banned to if they are going to use that arguement against same sex unions.

Getting caught having sex! My husband and I were in his truck and we got caught by a police man. And when he shone his flashlight on us, my husband said "My flashlights brighter than yours". I could have killed him, I know I punched him in the thigh. But the combination of those two things embarrassed me more than anything else ever have. We didn't get in any trouble, because I was nice to the guy. I guess it didn't hurt that my husband is still on active duty with the Marines.
