No he wouldn't.
Even the Saudis lock up wife beaters - and they certainly have severe interpretation of Shariah when it comes to women's rights:

(Unfortunately, it is only on blogs such as Jihadwatch where 'scholars' like Bob Spencer - who hasn't actually read the whole Quran - issue 'fatwas' saying that Islam allows men to batter their wives. In reality the frightening statistic that in Europe one in five women is subject to violence seems to be a feature of all societies around the world.)
Sorry to burst your bubble there Bora.
Cheers,
Shafique

What's interesting to note, though, was that this cleric justified his wife beating based on the clear passage of the Koran.

Edit: It looks like my thread; UAE - Men can up their wives (legally) !!!, (it's still on the bottom of this page) has been deleted by the mods.
Otherwise, I would have linked to that in this thread.
