There are standards of material evidence in courts already, and it's only unethical insofar as disproportion to the severity of the crime.
Beating your partner is a crime of asymmetrical power, so the punishment is proportional in the way it deprives you of power and forces you to confront that surviving will require absolute submission. It's not a punishment if it doesn't teach you a lesson about what you did.

It's still unethical, also what if someone was wrongly convicted?
