    thats why we should beat her if she is guilty of nushuz? what is the punishment of a husband if he is guilty of nushuz?

    But where is the punishment for wives for their Nashooz?

    Advise, is it called punishment anywhere?

    Remove her away to seperate bed inside the bed room--don't have sex with her--who calls it punishment? For healthy husband it is other way round, self punishment.

    Remove her from bed room into other part of the house---is it punishment?

        Dear brother, I agree with you, am asking q_student who implied "nushuz has to be punished" and according to him 434 says "punish her" so where is punishment of husband is mentioned? when nushuz on part of husband is mentioned it says why the two different remedies for same act? Is nushuz of husband different than nushuz of wife?

          But the "toleration" level of majority is quite different. A wife seldom asks for it. And even if she reflects it this would be like a very weak pleasant odor whithered away quickly in air.

            The funny thing is when nushuz is explained by traditionalists as (when the wife refuses to sleep with the husband). It will be silly to consider such an act as a punishment to the wife, when actually she would say "good riddance"!

                  There is one thing more and that can happen inside the bed room.

                  And this attitude of the husband is not for reason of some negative "physical" reasons in wife. Here the intention is to take money/assets from wife which is evident from . In Urdu ahsaan might convey a different perception from Arabic, where equity, proportion, balanced is the perception, when things are in appropriate measure making it look beautiful for the eyes of onlooker.

                      I'd say "nushuz" means "disloyalty".

                        I told you, you can easily detect the additions and manipulations of these dictionaries. It says rising up "against obeying him"! The addition is "obeying him". God does not command any human to obey any other.

                        O you who believe! when it is said unto you, Make room! in assemblies, then make room; Allah will make way for you (hereafter). And when it is said, Come up higher! go up higher; Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high ranks. Allah is Informed of what you do.

                        Can't see any "betrayal", but rising high and standing up

                                When dictionary compilers add their personal whims and idiosyncracies while defining the meanings of a word they do nothing except belittling themselves. This man has translated the word by alleging three allegations; . It is not necessary in .

                                is merely listening and affectionately accepting the word/saying of him. It is not obeying. Obeying i.e. to do or act as told is the stage after it and for that in Arabic the Root is " " not " ". And the third act included is nothing but absurd allegation; not even remotely related to nushooz.

                                As Sisiter has quoted the verses, it is only standing erect before her husband; which implies non cooperative attitude; to maintain and adhere to one's self opinion and posture and not take the other seriously or respectfully. To stand respectfully for some is and otherwise stand erect is .

                                The allegaion comprising definition can not be translated as betray.

                                be?tray
                                (past and past participle be?trayed, present participle be?tray?ing, 3rd person present singular be?trays)
                                transitive verb

                                1. help enemy to harm or be disloyal to a country or another person by helping an enemy or giving information that is confidential

                                2. surrender somebody or something treacherously to deliver somebody or something to an enemy
                                  He betrayed his own brother to the secret police.

                                3. go against promise to act in a way that is contrary to a promise made
                                  "If an intelligent person is betrayed repeatedly, and humiliated publicly, yet chooses to remain in that situation, one must ask what are the rewards?" (Gail Sheehy Vanity Fair February 1999)

                                4. reveal something to show something, often unintentionally
                                  She said nothing, but her bright eyes betrayed her excitement

                                Microsoft? Encarta?

                                      I have written an article on verse 434 of the Qur'an, a verse which has commonly been misinterpreted to justify violence against women. I have created a website to publish this article www.quranverse434.com

                                        After such elaborate effort the conclusion is still erroneous by the use of word "abandon".

                                        lack of restraint complete lack of inhibition or self-restraint

                                        -a?ban?don?ment, , noun

                                        Conjunction Waw links the verb with the previous verb which is associated with the bedroom. Therefore, following verb has to be related to the Bedroom, that is why it is not required to repeat "unil mazaje". Migrating a wife within the bed room is obviously suspension of sexual relationship. But wife and husband remaining within the bed room does reflect to others continuation of sexual aspect of matrimonial life. Showing the door of bed room to wives will make it open secret for others in the house and family that this couple has suspended sexual relationship and danger of their eventual break up is imminent. Others are now required to intervene to avert danger of permanent seperation.

                                          Having compared the English dictionary definitions of the word 'abandon' and 'shun', I feel 'shun' will provide the more appropriate meaning in verse 434

                                          'Shun' definitions

                                          • To keep away from (a place, person, object, etc.), from motives of dislike, caution, etc.; take pains to avoid.

                                          http//dictionary.reference.com/browse/shun

                                          • To avoid deliberately; keep away from.

                                          http//www.thefreedictionary.com/shun

                                          • To persistently avoid, ignore, or reject (someone or something) through antipathy or caution he shunned fashionable society'.

                                          I have updated my article with this translation.
