Assalam Alaikum Wa Rehmath Ullahi Wa Barkatahu The Qur'an admonishes those men who oppress or ill-treat women: O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will.

(Saheeh-Narrated By: Al-Haakim) -- Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better; then the enmity between him and you will become as if it were your friend and intimate!
