If you answer yes, then you admit beating your wife.
If you answer no, then because of the way it's worded "are you still...?" the obvious corollary is that you may no longer be beating your wife, but you *admit* to having beaten her in the past...!!!

Actually that's not quite correct. If you asked me that, my answer would be no because
a) I don't have a wife, and
b) I've never hit a woman.

Graham...a Sikh
has to wear a turban, it's an essential part of their faith.
A homosexual male does not HAVE to wear an earing.
