o you who have attained to faith! it is not lawful for you to become heirs to your wives against their will and neither shall you keep them under constraint with a view to taking away anything of what you may have given them unless it be that they have become guilty in an obvious man­ner of immoral conduct. and consort with your wives in a goodly manner for if you dislike them it may well be that you dislike something which god might yet make a source of abundant good.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا يحل لكم أن ترثوا النساء كرها ولا تعضلوهن لتذهبوا ببعض ما آتيتموهن إلا أن يأتين بفاحشة مبينة وعاشروهن بالمعروف فإن كرهتموهن فعسى أن تكرهوا شيئا ويجعل الله فيه خيرا كثيرا
