men shall take full care of women with the bounties which god has bestowed more abundantly on the former than on the latter and with what they may spend out of their possessions. and the right­eous women are the truly devout ones who guard the intimacy which god has guar­ded. and as for those women whose illwill you have reason to fear admonish them then leave them alone in bed then beat them and if thereupon they pay you heed do not seek to harm them. behold god is indeed most high great!
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
