اَلرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُوْنَ عَلَى النِّسَاۤءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللّٰهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلٰى بَعْضٍ وَّبِمَآ اَنْفَقُوْا مِنْ اَمْوَالِهِمْ ۗ فَالصّٰلِحٰتُ قٰنِتٰتٌ حٰفِظٰتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللّٰهُ ۗوَالّٰتِيْ تَخَافُوْنَ نُشُوْزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوْهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوْهُنَّ فِى الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوْهُنَّ ۚ فَاِنْ اَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيْلًا ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيْرًا ۝٣٤

Ar-rijālu qowwāmūna ‘alan-nisā-i bimā faḍḍolallāhu ba‘ḍohum ‘alā ba‘ḍiw wa bimā anfaqū min amwālihim, faṣ-ṣōliḥātu qōnitātun ḥāfiẓōtul lil-ghoibi bimā ḥafiẓollāh, wal-lātī takhōfūna nusyūzahunna fa ‘iẓūhunna wahjurūhunna fil-maḍōji‘i waḍribūhunn, fa in aṭo‘nakum falā tabghū ‘alaihinna sabīlā, innallāha kāna ‘aliyyan kabīrō

Meaning

Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, as Allah has given some of them an advantage over others, and because they spend out of their wealth. The good women are obedient, guarding what Allah would have them guard. As for those from whom you fear disloyalty, admonish them, and abandon them in their beds, then strike them. But if they obey you, seek no way against them. Allah is Sublime, Great.
