Domestic abuse is an international problem, however honour killings aren´t. Do your remmber the Bobbitt story..maybe if more woman were like Lorena these men would think twice. I also think some men tend to follow in what they see and learn..what I mean is maybe their father was abusive to their mother..

Sura An-Nisa is often misunderstood.
maybe you should come with your interpretation?
If anyone has to turn to a book to find an excuse to beat their wife they are probably going to hell anyway 
can you back up this with anything?
Although I think a man with violent tendencies is going to beat his wife (or others) regardless.
There should definitely be more severe punishments for domestic violence. Usually they don´t get any jail time whatsoever.
they usually get praises for being able to keep their wives under control.

Here´s a link to a very informative and comprehensive report about DV:
http://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/pdf/digest6e.pdf
Page 6 has some statistics from a selection of countries. It does illustrate how widespread and universal the problem is.
What I´m wondering is in any society where DV is so prevelent what is the difference between the men who abuse and those who don´t. Maybe looking at those factors would help in addressing the issue. It could be educational level, economic, religious, upbringing, history of being abused themselves, evil media, take your pick. At some point there has to be a shif in thinking or attitude and it would be interesting to explore that as well.

what`s the correct interpretation if it`s misunderstood? and how come we misunderstand it when it explicitely says beat your wife?
these excerpts are from bible;
Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night
But if this charge is true (that she wasn´t a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father´s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 if two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl´s father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

How childish, Tamikidakika. Did ever any Christian (or otherwise Western) person say that there are no horrible things in the Bible? I don´t think so. It´s not denied. You, on the contrary, always deny it implicit by pointing out at similar text in the Bible/Western society when someone dares to critisize Koran/Muslim society. Not the best discussing technique. (´Mammy, he did it toooooo!´ )
