أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ
مِنْ
حَيْثُ
سَكَنتُم
مِّن
وُجْدِكُمْ
وَلَا
تُضَارُّوهُنَّ
لِتُضَيِّقُوا
عَلَيْهِنَّ
وَإِن
كُنَّ
أُولَاتِ
حَمْلٍ
فَأَنفِقُوا
عَلَيْهِنَّ
حَتَّى
يَضَعْنَ
حَمْلَهُنَّ
فَإِنْ
أَرْضَعْنَ
لَكُمْ
فَآتُوهُنَّ
أُجُورَهُنَّ
وَأْتَمِرُوا
بَيْنَكُم
بِمَعْرُوفٍ
وَإِن
تَعَاسَرْتُمْ
فَسَتُرْضِعُ
لَهُ
أُخْرَى

House them where you live, in accordance with your means, and do not harass them to put them in straits, and should they be pregnant, maintain them until they deliver. Then, if they suckle [the baby] for you, give them their wages and consult together honourably. But if you make things difficult for each other, then another woman will suckle [the baby] for him.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf.
