وَإِنِ
امْرَأَةٌ
خَافَتْ
مِن
بَعْلِهَا
نُشُوزًا
أَوْ
إِعْرَاضًا
فَلَا
جُنَاحَ
عَلَيْهِمَا
أَن
يُصْلِحَا
بَيْنَهُمَا
صُلْحًا
وَالصُّلْحُ
خَيْرٌ
وَأُحْضِرَتِ
الْأَنفُسُ
الشُّحَّ
وَإِن
تُحْسِنُوا
وَتَتَّقُوا
فَإِنَّ
اللَّهَ
كَانَ
بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرًا

If a woman fears from her husband misconduct or desertion, there is no sin upon the couple if they reach a reconciliation between themselves; and reconcilement is better. The souls are prone to greed; but if you are virtuous and Godwary, Allah is indeed well aware of what you do.
— Ali Quli Qarai
If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on her husband's part, there is no blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between themselves; and such settlement is best; even though men's souls are swayed by greed. But if ye do good and practise self-restraint, Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
