[Avodah] is this muttar?

>That said, I would agree that if this kidnapping (1) actually occured,
and (2) was a BD-ordered "kofin oso ad sheyomar rotzeh ani", DDD wouldn't
trump halakhah.
 ==============================================================
Do our batei dinim have the power to order corporal punishment? If so, my guess would be that it's from the power of the melech, not the traditional beit din.  If so, I'm not sure that DMD (at least according to those who see it going beyond monetary issues)wouldn't trump.
