بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟
لَا
يَحِلُّ
لَكُمْ
أَن
تَرِثُوا۟
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
كَرْهًۭا ۖ
وَلَا
تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ
لِتَذْهَبُوا۟
بِبَعْضِ
مَآ
ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ
إِلَّآ
أَن
يَأْتِينَ
بِفَـٰحِشَةٍۢ
مُّبَيِّنَةٍۢ ۚ
وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ
بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ
فَإِن
كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ
فَعَسَىٰٓ
أَن
تَكْرَهُوا۟
شَيْـًۭٔا
وَيَجْعَلَ
ٱللَّهُ
فِيهِ
خَيْرًۭا
كَثِيرًۭا

You who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit women against their will, nor should you treat your wives harshly, hoping to take back some of the bride-gift you gave them, unless they are guilty of something clearly outrageous. Live with them in accordance with what is fair and kind: if you dislike them, it may well be that you dislike something in which God has put much good.
