men are the maintainers of women for that allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another and for that they have spent of their wealth. righteous women are obedient guarding in secret that which allah has guarded. those from whom you fear rebelliousness admonish them and desert them in the bed and smack them . then if they obey you do not look for any way against them. allah is 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
