Exodus
Chapter 21
21
But if the slave recovers within a day or two, then the owner shall not be punished, since the slave is his property.
Jemario Smith's Note

Granted, this is a bit of a stretch but if a husband beats his wife and she does not die, will God not punish the husband for his offenses? While the wife may not be the husband's slave, she must serve her husband as his helper. Do the same rules apply today?
