Surah An Nisaa Ayat 19
O you who believe! It is not permitted for you to inherit women against their will. And do not coerce them in order to take away some of what you had given them, unless they commit a proven adultery. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike something in which God has placed much good.

And how can you take it back, when you have been intimate with one another, and they have received from you a solid commitment?
