The social contract changes depending on the existing general rules of a society. In Wester society, slapping your wife for spending too much would result in filing assault charges. Spousal abuse isn't acceptable. In Saudi Arabia, religious laws are integrated into society, and included in those religious laws are what we would consider rampant sexism and hatred.
Still, there's only so much relativism that one should be willing to accept. Believe what you want, but the moment you harm yourself or others, you no longer get a pass on being whatever it is you are. If a Saudi man slapped his wife in front of me, I'd stop him. It's not culture, it's abuse.
