Al-Kabir
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah [swt] has made one of them to excel the other and because they spend [to support them] from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient and guard in the husband’s absence what Allah [swt] orders them to guard. As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them, [next] refuse to share their beds, [and last] beat them [lightly if it is useful]; but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means [of annoyance]. Surely Allah [swt] is Ever Most High, Most Great.[10]
