given with correctness and courtesy: a duty for all good-doers.
(Koran, 2:236)

He who has plenty should spend out from his plenty, but he
whose provision is restricted should spend from what God has
given him. God does not demand from any self more than He has
given it. God will appoint after difficulty, ease. (Koran, 65:7)
As these verses show, whether rich or someone of limited means,
a believer is held responsible for protecting his divorced wife. Even if

he never sees her again, and even if he stands to gain nothing from her,
he still has a responsibility to ensure the financial security of the wife
he has divorced and to treat her with kindness. Almighty God also re-
veals in verses the need to do this willingly and sincerely, without re-
luctance:

Give women their dowry willingly. But if they are happy to give
you some of it, make use of it with pleasure and goodwill. (Ko-
ran, 4:4)

Goods given to women must not be taken back
after divorce

Our Almighty Lord also reveals in verses that in the event of di-
vorce the man must not take back those things he gave his wife during
their marriage:

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? (Koran, 4:20-21)

... It is not lawful for you to keep anything you have given them
[the women]... (Koran, 2:229)
