I'd say the woman deserves a harsher punishment. A man's life has a huge black mark on it if there's even a suspicion or an allegation that he hit his wife. Especially if he's taken to prison and it has to go to trial.
Same thing if a woman falsely accuses a man of rape, but on a much more severe level for the man.
