Dr. Shabir Ally shares his understanding of Quran 4:34 drawn from a contextual analysis of the verse. He says that the command in the verse is addressed to the community as a whole rather than husbands. He also explains how to understand the word 'nushuz, and points out that men are also prescribed penalties in another verse of the same chapter. Finally, he cautions that his is merely an analysis of the meaning of the verse; we still need to determine how best to apply 4:34 today.
