“ MEN ARE THE GUARDIANS AND PROTECTORS OF WOMEN BECAUSE ALLAH HAS FAVORED SOME OVER THE OTHER, AND BECAUSE THEY SUOPPORT THEM FROM THEIR MEANS. THEREFORE, THE RIGHTEOUS WOMEN ARE DEVOUTLY OBEDIENT AND GUARD IN THE HUSBAND’S ABSENCE WHAT ALLAH WOULD HAVE THEM GUARD. AS TO THOSE WOMEN ON WHOSE PART YOU FEEL DISLOYALTY AND ILL-CONDUCT ADMONISH THEM FIRST; NEXT REFUSE TO SHARE THEIR BEDS; AND LAST BEAT THEM LIGHTLY. BUT IF THEY RETURN TO OBEDIENCE SEEK NOT AGAINST THEM MEANS OF ANNOYANCE FOR ALLAH IS MOST HIGH, GREAT ABOVE ALL” AN-NESA’A 4 : 34
