I am not sure if one should laugh or just cry about your comment?
Don't confuse Arabs for Kurds, Afghans and others in the "region". What you described is more or less non-existent in the GCC and by far the majority of the Arab world. When it comes to domestic violence then this is obviously a huge problem in Russia but it occurs everywhere.
But I don't know about any culture that encourages the husband to beat the wife. Maybe you know something that I don't know about on this front. Beating a female is one of the most low things you can do as a man. "Macho" my ***.
