4:34 Men are in charge of women, as Allah has made some of them excel the others, and because they spend of their wealth. Therefore the righteous women are obedient, and protect what Allah has entrusted them with[1] in [their husband’s] absence. As for those women on whose part you fear rebellion[2], [first] admonish them, [next] forsake them in bed, and [last] hit them[3]. Then if they obey you, do not take further action against them. Indeed, Allah is Most High, All-Great.

4:35 If you fear a breach between them, appoint an arbitrator from his family and another from hers. If they both want reconciliation, Allah will bring harmony between them. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.

4:36 Worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him. Be kind to parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, near and distant neighbors, close friends, wayfarers, and slaves whom you own[1]. For Allah does not like those who are arrogant, boastful,

4:37 those who are stingy and promote stinginess among people[1], and conceal what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty. We have prepared for disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
