Believers! It is not lawful for you to become heirs to women against their will. It is not lawful that you should put constraint upon them that you may take away anything of what you have given them; (you may not put constraint upon them) unless they are guilty of brazenly immoral conduct. Live with your wives in a good manner. If you dislike them in any manner, it may be that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good for you.
あなたがた信仰する者よ，当人の意志に反して，女を相続してはならない。あなたがたが，かの女らに与えたマハルの一部を取り戻すために，かの女らを手荒に扱ってはならない。明らかに不貞の事実があれば別である。出来るだけ仲良く，かの女らと暮しなさい。あなたがたが，かの女らを嫌っても（忍耐しなさい）。そのうち（嫌っている点）にアッラーからよいことを授かるであろう。
