kindly moral values and attaching superiority and value to women.
Looking after a woman means making her feel that she is very re-
spected and valued. God shows the value and protection He places
on women in practical terms. It is also forbidden in the verse to "...
put pressure on them so as to harass them." As stated in the verse,
"... consult together with correctness and courtesy," God advises

good relations being maintained between people who have divorced.
Considering the difficult position in which women find themselves
today in society in general, or in social life, the need for and impor-
tance of these measures recommended in the Qur'an becomes much

clearer.

Women Not Being Inherited by Force

One of the commandments about the protection of women in the
Qur'an regards their not being inherited by force. God reveals
that:

You who believe! It is not lawful 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 to-
gether with them correctly and courteously. …

(Qur'an, 4:19)

In this verse, God forbids any pressure being put on women,
and any measure that might create difficulties for them in material
terms.
