men are the protectors and maintainers of women as god has given some of them an advantage over others and because they spend out of their wealth. the good women are obedient guarding what god would have them guard. as for those from whom you fear disloyalty admonish them and abandon them in their beds then strike them. but if they obey you seek no way against them. god is sublime 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
