Hitting the Wife if She Insults Her Husband

Question
What is the ruling on hitting the wife if she insults her husband and his family?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for the husband to discipline the wife in certain cases, and this may fall under it if the husband is not initially transgressing against her, and God knows best.
