1. Men are the maintainers of Woman because G-d has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good Women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as G-d has guarded; and as to those on whose part you fear desertion. Admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-place and do not beat them or force then into the married acts for as Man is in the image of G-d So is the Woman in the image of the Ishah (wife) of G-d. Then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely G-d is High, Great. And If a Woman has a cause against her husband she is to take the matter to the Iman who is her advocate and responsible to G-d for her cause.
2. And if you fear a breach between the shnei (two), then appoint a judge from his people and a judge from her people; if they both desire agreement. G-d will effect harmony between them; surely G-d is Knowing, Aware.
3. And serve G-d , and do not associate any thing with him, and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of your kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Kadosh Ha-Shem The Lord G-d, does not love him who is proud, boastful;
