Father disciplining his daughter

Q: As a father, can one punish the daughter if she's a teenager? Islamically what physical discipline is permitted or should my wife do it?

A: It is permissible to discipline your daughter. However, it is better that you get your wife to discipline her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
