Adnan Oktar
(Harun Yahya)

"nushuz" means unfaithfulness, from a woman flirting with
someone who is not her husband up to the level of illicit sexual re-
lations. Therefore, the next part of the verse describes how the hus-
band should treat his wife who has been unfaithful to him. The man
is told first of all to advise the woman not to behave unfaithfully. If
that is unsuccessful, the husband is advised to sleep separately from

her. However, if the woman still persists in illicit relations and com-
mits adultery, then the best thing to do is to try removing the woman
from the home entirely.

It is obvious that the Qur'an, in which women are specially pro-
tected, will not contain any practices resembling beating women.
When we look at it logically, beating a woman who insists on being
unfaithful to her husband despite all his admonitions will do nothing

Although there are campaigns aimed at raising awareness of violence
against women in the press and broadcasting media, it has to date proved
impossible to prevent across the world. The reason for that is there is no
activity on the level of ideas and based on the Qur'an against the mindset
that represents the foundation of such violence.
