Rights groups decry UAE court ruling allowing men to beat family The Sun Daily
Here's three paragraphs from the WaPo article:

"Our courts adhere to (a) strict policy not to tolerate any degree of family violence, whether verbal or physical," Humaid al-Muhairi, director of the Justice Ministry's judicial inspection department, said in a statement carried by state news agency WAM.
Muhairi's comments follow a report this week that the Federal Supreme Court found a man guilty of beating his wife and daughter while noting that Islamic codes allow for "discipline" if it leaves no marks.
The ruling found that the man had exceeded the "right to discipline" his family members because his wife suffered lip and teeth injuries, the state-owned daily The National reported this week.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/20/AR2010102002763.htmlDoes the headline match the story? Mostly yes. Is it misleading? YES! The story is that the court allows "the right to discipline" as long as you don't leave a mark. That's the point.
I have to wonder about WaPo motives with this aricle.
