Sharia law
The imam is theoretically a non-violent man, although due to the aggressive and violent nature of the [[Koran]] there have been many incidents of violent acts carried out by an imam toward [[woman]]. For instance, it was revealed that a [[Muslim]] imam who lives in [[Germany]] and lectures on non-violence beat his [[wife]] bloody and broke her bones when she said she wanted to live a more "western" lifestyle.<ref>Jonathon M. Seidl.

He shouted, ''"Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. [...] As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them."'' She was allegedly assaulted so badly that she suffered a broken nose and shoulder and numerous cuts and bruises.

Most commonly, the imam may not conduct the violence but order others to do so for them under [[Sharia law]]. For example, in [[Bangladesh]], the imam at the local mosque decidedly punished a 14 year old girl to 101 lashes because she was raped by a married man. She lasted only 70. The 14-year-old Bangladeshi Muslim girl was lashed to death, accused of adultery by the imam.<ref>http://www.theblaze.com/stories/muslim-girl-14-lashed-to-death-for-alleged-adultery/</ref>
