Women in the Quran

Allah honored the women and ordered men to treat them kindly, and forbade coercion, so as to preserve their dignity and put them in a position higher than it was before Islam:

Allah the almighty said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back] part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a thing and Allah makes therein much good. }

Quran ( 4:19 )
