Muslim men ‘think they have God-given right to beat wives’, claims female Muslim medic

Fatima Husain, a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology, has told how she sees Muslim women coming for treatment with strangle marks around their necks and bruises on their pregnant bumps.  She also claimed that problems develop because many followers of Islam are fearful of discussing sex, contraception and infertility.  Dr Husain, who works at Heatherwood and Wexham Park Hospitals in Berkshire, told the Muslim News that many women ask to be referred to her specialist clinics because she is a hijab-wearing Muslim, allowing her to discover the true scale of domestic violence in her religious community.  She said: "I've seen injuries on some of my patients that I wouldn't dream would happen to pregnant women.  "Domestic violence is supposedly equally divided amongst the various groups but I get the impression it is more common in Muslims.
