Judge: ‘Muslims think they can beat their wives’

Muslims think they can actually beat their wives, a judge has told Tallaght Court.

Judge Anthony Halpin made his claim yesterday as he was dealing with a man accused of burgling his estranged wife’s house.

Khadar Younis, aged 46, a Somali national from Belfry Hall, Citywest, had pleaded not guilty to burglary, contravening a protection order, and possession of a knife, at Fernwood Avenue, Springfield, Tallaght, on May 10.
