Senator Shehu Sani has expressed his disapproval of the advice given by the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, regarding how his daughters should respond to an abusive husband.
During a recent forum, the Emir stated that he had instructed his daughters to retaliate with a slap if their husbands ever struck them. He emphasized that he did not raise his daughters to be subjected to such treatment.
“Beating your wife or beating your daughter or beating a woman is prohibited. It is a crime. Let’s not even talk about handkerchief or chewing stick. It is just haram. It is prohibited. Allah says, All harm must be removed. And beating, gender-based violence is harm. And it must be removed.
