چکیده:
The following text is the second of eight lecture sessions by Professor Martyr Mortaza Motahhari regarding the rights of women and men, which was held in 1966 at the Islamic Association of Physicians. In this session, the professor first recalls or adds points related to the first session, which concerned the first part of verse 34 of Surah An-Nisa (Men are the protectors/maintainers of women) regarding the subject of male guardianship over women, and then discusses the second part of the holy verse—specifically 'wa-idribuhunna'—which, according to the professor, has caused much controversy. Given the double importance of a correct interpretation of this verse, the aforementioned lecture was selected for the first issue of the 'Tamashagah-e Raz' quarterly journal. It is worth noting that the professor's unpublished discussions on women's rights, including this session, will be published by Sadra Publications this summer (2012).

Westerners, who place so much importance and respect on freedom, at the same time, impose a kind of limitation on it in the face of the power of the state, which is itself the power of society; because if freedom were absolute and there were no power acting above the freedom of individuals according to the interests of society, society would not progress; meaning, this gift of freedom would not move society forward.
This is the same justification that modern people use; they say that the reason why in our civil law (without mentioning the name of Islam) and / some of the world's laws, they tell the man to spend, is that primarily, they have given the man the right to rule.
The Quran mentions three stages in succession, and in the reports and commentaries, the stepwise nature of these three matters has also been pointed out; meaning, in the first stage, advise and admonish the woman; if it proves useful, then fine, otherwise the turn comes to the second stage, which is "hajr in the sleeping quarters," meaning avoidance in the bedroom.
To anyone, it might initially seem problematic how Islam has given the man the right to strike the woman?
A man who truly wants to act according to the law of Islam must first truly admonish the woman.
The necessity of limiting family disputes to the family It might be said that when a woman becomes disobedient (nashiz), instead of the man performing admonition, forsaking in bed, and then non-violent striking, he refers to her parents or neighbors and others.
