If they mean "don't slap your wife, UNLESS she's been spending too much money".. then I'm actually okay with that. Not entirely, as I'm not too fond of abuse within any type of relationship.. but they come from a different world where most women don't work out of the home and the husband is the only person bringing home the bacon. If his wife is out spending so much money that she's about to make it difficult to pay for bills or save for emergencies, then punish her somehow. Here in the US we'd talk with our wives about it.. but over there, they may be in a situation where simply talking with their wives may not work as well since it would take away some authority the husband has over the family and the husband needs this authority for the security of his household. (Since his wife does not work and has very little power outside of the home.)

If this were happening in the US, I'd be quick to disagree with it, but this is happening in a world I'm very unfamiliar with and they have problems that may be similar to our own but not entirely the same. If this is their way of dealing with things, so be it. I do feel sorry for the women, though. But, I don't know the full extent of the problem, so I can't just go ahead and judge them.
