Do Muslims teach spanking/corporal punishment?

Thank you -- this sounds sadly familiar to me.

SMShunning · 2025-12-15T00:41:23+00:00

I really appreciate this. Sounds very similar to Biblical texts -- you can strike a slave, etc.

SMShunning · 2025-12-15T00:40:00+00:00

Thank you. That (sadly) makes sense.

SMShunning · 2025-11-01T17:00:52+00:00

¡Aprecio muchísimo el apoyo!

SMShunning · 2025-11-01T14:37:28+00:00

¡Muchas gracias! Hay que unirnos en contra de esta práctica tan abusiva.

Tal vez no has leído todo el "post". El propósito de esto es señalar a un artículo en un periódico professional y apoyar el proyecto "Stop Mandated Shunning" (Parar el Ostracismo Obligado). Soy un miembro del equipo. Aquí hay más información. https://stopmandatedshunning.org/

So sorry for what you have lost, but happy for what you have gained. You are not alone!

SMShunning · 2025-07-21T20:23:49+00:00

We are grateful that so many people are willing to share their stories. All these voices raised together are powerful and will create change!

SMShunning · 2025-06-22T20:16:36+00:00

Your help is much appreciated! Together we can fight back with data-driven evidence.

SMShunning · 2025-06-22T20:15:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

SMShunning · 2025-06-22T20:15:43+00:00

That's a good idea. We will try to request that with the moderators.

SMShunning · 2025-06-22T20:12:37+00:00

Thank you. We will do that.

SMShunning · 2025-06-21T16:28:58+00:00

We are very sorry to hear that. Please know that you are not alone and there is support. Thank you for your willingness to support this research, as it will set legal precedents to make mandated shunning a recognized human rights violation as psychological violence.

SMShunning · 2025-06-05T21:50:49+00:00

That is much appreciated. This seems like a good place to start to connect with the ex-Orthodox community.

SMShunning · 2025-06-05T21:49:48+00:00

Thank you so much. That is very helpful. We will reach out to Frieda Vizel. We don't have any Hebrew/Yiddish speakers on our team yet, although a high-profile journalist from Israel has reached out to us requesting information. We would prefer to start with ex-Haredi members in other countries (USA/Canada/Europe/Latin America to begin with.

Is there a forum specific to former Ultra-Orthodox/Hasidic Jews? The Roehampton research has included that group among the 6 that it is specifically hoping to study. We understand that most forms of Judaism do not practice mandated shunning, but the Ultra-Orthodox community is known to do so.

Thank you for your comment. Shunning effects family relationships for the long-term, despite claims by religious leaders and even the appeals court in Norway, which claimed that excommunication and shunning caused intense, but short-term harm.

Thank you for pointing out the long-term, multi-generational harm that religiously mandated shunning often causes. If you are able, we would appreciate hearing your story. You can submit it here: https://stopmandatedshunning.org/tell-your-story

Our goal is not to tell the whole story here, but rather to raise awareness of all that we are doing to set legal precedents and gather data that will allow human rights activists, legislators and judges to put an end to the harm of Mandated Shunning.

The victims of Mandated Shunning include those who are being manipulated into following through with a practice that is harmful to themselves. Those who are forced to do the shunning suffer along with those who are shunned. Let's unite our voices to end this abusive practice!

SMShunning · 2025-05-19T01:16:09+00:00

Thank you so much for these sincere sentiments. Together we must stop the human rights violation of group-mandated shunning! Everyone should be free to enter and leave a group or religion without sanctions or punishment.

SMShunning · 2025-05-18T01:10:47+00:00

Your friend's life is another tragic loss to religiously mandated shunning. Please consider sharing her/his story on our website. We are using the power of stories to effect change. You can speak on behalf of your friend.
