Verse 34 of An-Nisa is related to the issue of marital relations in Islam . This verse is frequently interpreted as giving women complete control over their own income and property, while obliging men to be responsible for maintaining their female relatives.Iman Hashim, ''Reconciling Islam and feminism'', Gender & Development, 1999, vol. 7, issue 1, p 7, ISSN 13552074 A small minority of Muslims interprets the verse as meaning men have an everlasting superiority over women, and thus the authority to beat women with few regulations. This interpretation, however, is neither mainstream nor supported by any prominent Muslim religious leader. SCRIPTURAL TEXT Traditions attributed to Muhammad Muslim scholars cite Sayings And Traditions Of Muhammad in relation to this verse. ROLE OF MEN AND WOMEN The Qur'an states that men are the guardians of women, and thus responsible for earning livelihood for the family and female relatives. Women, however, are given complete control over their own income and property. Nevertheless, they are responsible for educating the children, as God has given the one preference over the other. Man is also considered to be the head of the family., '' Mizan '', Chapter:The Social Law of Islam Iran ian Feminist s have concentrated on one particular verse of the Qur’an (), part of which reads `Men are the protectors of and maintainers of women because God has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means’. Feminist theologians in Iran argue that as the only distinction made between Muslims in the Qur’an is that between the pious and the impious (), the word taken to mean `protectors and providers’ in the verse above is more appropriately interpreted as initiator in affairs’.
