4:19 don't inherit women against their will!
-
I discussed this verse in my DaRaBa analysis.
O you who believe, it is not lawful/allowed for you to inherit the women forcibly/unwillingly, and nor that you hinder/prevent/constrain/straiten them to take away some of what you gave them unless they commit* a clear lewdness. And live/consort with them in kindness, so if you dislike them, then perhaps you may dislike something and God makes in it much good.
And if you desire to exchange a mate in place of another, and you have given one of them a large amount, then do not take anything from it. Would you take it by falsehood/slander and a clear sin?
*imperfect, i.e. unless they commit (in future) a clear lewdness.420 proves that if a husband wishes to replace one wife with another, they cannot take away anything of the dower. This reinforces and proves 419 refers to making life difficult for the wife, so the husband can take back a part of what he has given her of the dower and the only way that can be done is if the couple agree that they may not uphold God's limits or the wife releases herself . So this verse refers to the husband treating his wife badly in some way so that she agrees to do either of these, which of course would be unjust. This causes a severe problem for the possibility that in 434 it means wife beating, as this would be a clear contradiction in The Quran. To further reinforce this understanding, the verse clearly states itself that it is about a husband being with a wife he may dislike, but there may be good that he does not realise. The next verse then discusses divorce which the next logical step for a husband who dislikes his wife.
Interestingly, traditional explanations from Ibn Kathir, Al-Jalalayn and others insert their own interpretation and render it as "... and nor prevent them (from marrying others)" and "what you gave them" refers to what women were bequeathed in an inheritance by their deceased husbands. Not only is this an absurd extrapolation, it makes no sense because the right to take something away from what was given to the wife in case of clear lewdness is the right of the husband only (i.e. the one who gave the dower), not others. Most translators do not opt for this absurd interpretation. It is possible this unusual interpretation is given to cancel out the fact that a husband cannot make difficulty for his wife to take away what he gave her, i.e. must treat her fairly in marriage, even if he dislikes her. This more proper interpretation would of course cause problems in understanding idriboo as "beat/strike". In any case, in a situation of an unloved wife who is prevented from marrying others (i.e. not divorced properly), then the resolution to this situation is already given in 581-4.Logically, if a partner is not allowed to straiten/constrain his wife to take something away from what he gave her (unless she commits clear lewdness), then if he fears or suspects lewdness, he must do less, NOT more, e.g. beat. To do so would be a contradiction.

Khalifa
O you who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit what the women leave behind, against their will. You shall not force them to give up anything you had given them, unless they commit a proven adultery. You shall treat them nicely. If you dislike them, you may dislike something wherein GOD has placed a lot of good.
OR
Shakir
O you who believe! it is not lawful for you that you should take women as heritage against (their) will, and do not straighten them in order that you may take part of what you have given them, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency, and treat them kindly; then if you hate them, it may be that you dislike a thing while Allah has placed abundant good in it.Off-Topic.
I've a question and I'm really confused about you asking people who they don't have any idea about " " and" " or even "" and "" which they are necessary in getting what the verse might meant.
why? of course not because you want the meanings neither their opinions. and sorry if I disturbe you.

surely the purpose of asking questions is to find the answers so we can understand the verses?

No, you can't understand the verses without some necessary basics, know that the verse can take different forms from our interpretations . without the basics you'll just be under your your own opinions but of course not understanding the verse .
one more thing you have to know what I mean by
" " and" " and "" and ""

You know that the maker of Fatwa between him and hell just a line . rotfl

This is a saying to make people aware that making a Fatwa without deep studies in Quran, can be dangerous for him and it can't be his fly to Hell, because he can mislead a lot of people to the wrong path by any wrong of misunderstanding of any kind of Fatwa. so be careful Miss.Fatwa .

That is good. You have issued tickets for hell to many of your Imams, bukharis and reformers, they did this thing quite often.

so your threat of me going to hell is not based on Quran or God or even Muhammed, but on traditional sayings of the people. Dont you think its a bit dangerous to do that while implying it comes from God?

did I say that this is from God ? read my post. No it's a good saying and it keeps me not jumping in giving interpretations like you did.
