men are the managers of women because of the advantage allah has granted some of them over others and by virtue of their spending out of their wealth. righteous women are obedient and watchful in the absence in guarding what allah has enjoined to guard. as for those whose misconduct you fear advise them and keep away from them in the bed and beat them. then if they obey you do not seek any course against them. indeed allah is allexalted allgreat.
الرجال قوامون على النساء بما فضل الله بعضهم على بعض وبما أنفقوا من أموالهم فالصالحات قانتات حافظات للغيب بما حفظ الله واللاتي تخافون نشوزهن فعظوهن واهجروهن في المضاجع واضربوهن فإن أطعنكم فلا تبغوا عليهن سبيلا إن الله كان عليا كبيرا
