No.
By levitical law, a husband is required to compensate his wife for the damage done based on:
What a person of her size, strength, and experience would be worth if sold as a slave - this assumes permanent physical damage has been done. The idea being that she could then buy a slave to take over anything she can no longer do.
Compensation for the pain she experienced - value to be determined by a judge. The value is based on several factors, but relates mostly to what one would have agreed to pay to avoid such pain, if it had been imminent.
Compensation for shame she experienced - value to be determined by existing case law. Each slap, strike, tear in clothing, etc are counted as a separate offense to the building value; and if any of the strikes cause pain beyond the humiliation suffered, he must also compensate her for the pain caused. IF any of the injuries become infected, he is also to compensate her for stoppage of work until she is healed.
