| 'Punished' wife ends up in hospital |
| 2004-08-25 |
| A Jordanian man forced his wife to sit on the bonnet of their car as he drove through the streets of the capital to "punish" her after they had an argument, Al Dustour newspaper reported on Wednesday. As a result, the 22-year-old woman fell and was admitted to hospital with numerous broken bones and a concussion, the daily said, adding that she was in "moderate condition". Her 27-year-old husband was arrested. Al Dustour described the incident as a "curious method of punishing wives" and said it was the first of its kind in Jordan. |

| #5 I wonder if there was any particular reason why she felt she had to humor the jerk.... |

| #4 Al Dustour described the incident as a "curious method of punishing wives" and said it was the first of its kind in Jordan. Probably cheaper then buying a coupla gallons of acid. |

| #3 She was prolly only a 3rd or 4th wife. Hardly worth getting worked up over, infidels. |

| #2 What's the usual method, a beating? Or a 4 inch stick of wood (officially sanctioned weapon of Islamicist husbands, apparently), wedged neatly into the eye socket? It shut Frances Farmer up, didn't it? Apparently she didn't realize that you can't argue if you're a wife of a Muslim. Ever. |

| #1 If you can get a newspaper in Jordan take notice of a "curious method of punishing wives", you've really accomplished something. Unless they said it in admiration ... |
