Now if we observe in verses 4:4 and 4:19 ----It is a GIFT and can't be taken back and secondly can;t hold the lady forcefully and can't take away forcefully what have been given by husband.
Now there are different interpretations I have only posted those acceptable by Ullma-----
But if you ever get a chance to get your hands on Sir Syed -Allama Pervez- Sheikh Abdu- QxP in English and compare them with above transaltors you would love it --
Unfortunately, My brother also went through this. His ex took everything we let her as long as we didnt have to deal with her and the family ever again. 1 year later she had the audacity to say she made a mistake and wanted to be his wife again. It took 3 years for him to financially and mentally recover from this, it was devastating to all of us. Later we had found out that that she and her family had done the same thing to another 2 families one in USA and one in Canada. We had no idea! She was incredibly beautiful and very charming (so were the family) people safeguard yourselves from men and women like this!!!
