I have Muslim neighbors, a young married family with kids, and our (American) female neighbor further down the street always teases the guy about how this is America, women aren't looked down upon, don't boss her around so much, get up and get yourself a glass of water, go help her clean up the dishes, etc..it seems that Muslim women are subservient to Muslim men customarily, although I can't judge as far as outside the home in public because I just don't know, haven't seen it. They seem pretty happy people, so who knows...
As far as the Iranian being allowed to beat his wife once a week, well...I think everyone here has so far echoed my own thoughts on the matter. Pretty ridiculous.
