Says it's O.K. to beat your wife!
I like what the Most High God's Word says better!
Colossians 3:19
Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

I really have not read it, but I have heard that the testimony of two women is equal to that of a man. A man can have four wives ( interesting )
