Ex-Wives Retain Their Property

 

Ex-Wives Retain Their Property

The Qur'an also protects a woman's interests by stating that she
retains what her former husband gave her while they were married:
"If you desire to exchange one wife for another
and have given your original wife a large amount, do not take any
of it. Would you take it by means of slander and outright crime?
How could you take it when you have been intimate with one another,
and they have made a binding contract with you?" (Surat an-Nisa':
20-21).

Allah reminds people that believing men must respect the terms
of their marriage agreement. One of these terms is that regardless
of the amount of property or money that a woman receives from her
husband during their marriage, he has no right to take it back after
he divorces her. Believing men know this truth, and so do their
best to obey this command.

It is not lawful for you to keep anything you
have given them, unless a couple fears that they will not remain
within Allah's limits [that He established for humanity]. If you
fear that they will not remain within these limits, there is nothing
wrong in the wife ransoming herself with some of what she received.
These are Allah's limits [that He established for humanity], so
do not overstep them. Those who overstep these limits are wrongdoers.
(Surat al-Baqara: 229)

As seen, Islamic morality has a very high opinion of women and
seeks to prevent them from suffering any difficulties or hardships.
Thus, believing men safeguard the rights of women and are most considerate
toward them.

Housing Divorced Women

When it comes to housing an ex-wife, Allah proclaims: "Let
them live where you live, according to your means. Do not put pressure
on them, so as to harass them. If they are pregnant, maintain them
until they give birth. If they are suckling for you, give them their
wages and consult together with correctness and courtesy. But if
you make things difficult for one another, another woman should
do the suckling for you" (Surat at-Talaq: 6). Believing men
are required to meet their ex-wives' every need, both material and
otherwise, so that they will not fall upon hard times. First, the
ex-wife must be housed until a suitable home can be arranged for
her. If she is pregnant, her former husband must cover all of the
costs associated with her health and care until she gives birth.
What truly matters here is that believing men act in a thoughtful
and understanding manner, whatever the circumstances may be, and
ensure that the ex-wife's financial and other needs be met so that
she will not experience any hardship. All of these matters must
be resolved as prescribed in the Qur'an.

Do Not Inherit Women by
Force

Allah has made many recommendations in order to safeguard women's
social rights. For example, He reminds believers:

O you who believe! There is no permission for
you to inherit women by force. Nor may you treat them harshly,
so that you can make off with part of what you have given them,
unless they commit an act of flagrant indecency. Live together
with them correctly and courteously. (Surat an-Nisa': 19)
