Husband Has 3 Options For Adultery Of Wife
@alishafi1 This verse and its context reveal that women in the tribal culture of Arabia were treated as commodities. In such a culture, it was common for men to use women for their lust and desire without regard to morality and the honour and dignity of a human being. Among other things, men had relationships with married women. Accordingly, verse 4:24 prohibited the believers from having such relationships. By implication, the prohibition in this verse extends to two other parties. Firstly, to the believers who may want to allow their wives to have a relationship with other men out of a want or need. Secondly, married women are also bound to uphold the sanctity of this law despite having difficult experiences. The only temporary exception in this verse were slaves or war captives with polytheist husbands. This exception no longer exists. Islam’s approach to eradicating slavery was gradual but firm.
