229b. And if ye fear that ye may not
be able to keep the limits of Allah, in that case it is no sin on either if
the woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah, transgress
them not. And whoso transgresseth Allah’s limits, such are wrongdoers.

Commentary
Reason of revelation
of this verse is that a woman came in the court of Last Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and requested that she was displeased
from her husband. She did not want to live in her husband’s house. Messenger of
God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) asked about its
reason. She answered, “My husband does neither neglect in performing my rights
and nor I have any objection on his manners and customs. But I naturally hate
him. I don’t want to see his figure. If I would not have the fear of Islam,
then I wished to spit on his face”. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) caused to return the dower (Maher) and
divorce her.
It has been commanded
by Allah Almighty in this verse to the Muslims that if they have fear that the
husband and wife are displeased from one another, and they may not live
together, then there is no sin for them if they become separate. The woman can get
rid of herself from marriage by returning dower to her husband and the husband
can get back that wealth. The name of this particular form of divorce (desirous
of which is the woman) is called Khula’ (a kind of divorce
which is a right of the woman to let free from marriage). Instructions
about Khula’ are available in the books of ‘the religious
laws’ in detail.
It is evident from
this verse that Islam commands us in every matter for correction and betterment
of our families, domestic affairs and social relations. If a man is displeased
from his wife and considers it difficult to live together with his wife then he
can get freedom from her. Like this, if the wife thinks that it is impossible
to live in her husband’s home then she also can get freedom from her
husband. Purpose of this is only correction of affairs in each form, making the
marriage relations better as it may be possible; somehow or other. In the last,
it has been warned that these are the limits and conditions (imposed by) Allah,
so you should not transgress them because transgressing these limits is a very
big sin. Islam desires that the world’s society should be established on
goodness and God fearing. Nobody should tyrannize or oppress any other. These
limitations are called HuduudUllaah.
