(4:34) The men are (more) cumulative than women because Allah has fidelized some of them over others and because they spend of their money. The reformed (women) are devotees and capsulates of confidentiality (of family life) which Allah (commanded) capsulate. As for those women from whom you fear disloyalty, then you shall advise them, abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate them. If they obey you, then do not seek a way over them. Allah is High, Great.
