~ 155 ~ Conjugal Relation: Your wives are a sort of tilth for you; so approach your tilth when and as you like and send ahead some good for yourselves;. 2:224 And the divorced women shall wait concerning them- selves for three courses; and it is not lawful for them that they conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day; and their husbands have the greater right to take them back during that period, provided they desire reconcil- iation. And they (the women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in equity; but men have a degree of ad- vantage above them. 2:229 Men are guardians over women because Allah has made some of them excel others, and because men spend on them of their wealth. So virtuous women are obedient, and guard the secrets of their husbands with Allah's protection. And as for those on whose part you fear disobedience, admonish them and keep away from them in their beds and chastise them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. . 4:35
