“I have warned all district heads, village heads, ward heads and imams to also desist from the bad habit of beating their wives and whoever among them is reported to me to have beaten up his wife, would outrightly lose his title," he added.
The Emir is also proposing a law in the state which would prevent poor men from marrying more than one wife.
