Women's rights take another two steps back

According to an AP report today, "A Saudi judge told a conference on domestic violence that a man has the right to slap a wife who spends money wastefully and said women were as much to blame as men for increased spousal abuse."
 
So by the judge's twisted logic, when a Saudi woman is sick of being beaten and abused, she has the right to shoot her husband because he is as much to blame for the spousal abuse too?  Right?  Hmm, somehow I don't think he'd see it that way.
