The former verse reads:
.{..حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِينَ }
(….a duty upon the doers of good.) (Al-Baqara: 236)
Thus, due to all divorced women under the different types of divorce -with or without sexual intercourse or whether the divorced woman is pregnant or not- is a provision according to what is acceptable. And Allah (swt) concludes the verses related to divorce by this verse and orders spending on the woman under all types of divorce. It is really awkward that the advocates of the rights of woman do not read the Book of Allah (the Holy Qur’an) or they have the Qur’an interpreted from unreliable sources contrary to what Allah (swt) intends. There is such an inherited cumulation with respect to confiscating the rights of women; and this has nothing to do with the Islamic Sharia as it is related to the customs and norms of societies after the golden era during which the companions of Prophet Muhammad (saws) had a sound understanding of the rights of women as set out by the Qur’an and the Prophet (saws). The rights of women have been confiscated by people but not the Lord of all people. Such mindset of the society should be rectified.
