The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sunusi 11, has called for stiffer punishment for perpetrators of Gender Base Violence in Kano State, saying no good Muslim beat his wife.
Sanusi made the call on Monday July 21, when he received a delegation of development Research and Project Center for Islamic Civilization and Interfaith dialogue (CICID) at his palace in Kano.
The Emir said, “I never believe in beating women, and those who do, are not beating their wives with the intention of reforming them. What we see today is even serious beating and injuring of women in the name of reforming them.
“Islam has respected and dignified women more than any other religion and all those seeking cover under it to abuse women do not even underrate the religion.
“Whoever beats and injures his wife is not a good person. I did not say this, It is the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who said it. It is those who do not read that don’t know”.
