Uhm, he wasn't allowed to beat her wife once a week. The court found him guilty.
Iranians condemn that sort of thing but it's customary (ie if the wife is dominating the relationship then she is regarded as a terrible wife and nobody will like her) for the wife to be the best wife she can be, in that patriarchal society sense.
It's vaguely similar to the way things were in America back in the 1950's. Maybe that would put things in perspective for you.
