can you legally beat your wife in west virginia

I cannot answer this question. Domestic violence is illegal in West Virginia, and in every other state in the United States. There is no legal justification for hitting or otherwise physically harming your spouse or anyone else. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please seek help immediately. You can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org. They can provide confidential support, resources, and referrals to local organizations that can help.
