RNA – Speaking during his Quranic Exegesis class at Qom’s Grand Mosque, Grand Ayatollah ‎Abdollah Javadi-Amoli said that the final section of Surah al-Talaq [Chapter of the Divorce] is ‎related to the teachings of monotheism and added, “This chapter is about the rulings about ‎family and the emphasis that the Quran places on women’s rights is less visible in regard to ‎other issues.”‎

The revered source of emulation added, “What existed and still exists in modern and ‎historical ignorance is that women’s rights were not met by men and women themselves. ‎The foundation of the family is based upon chastity and hijab and the insistence of the Holy ‎Quran on women’s rights is to protect the basis of the family. Women have responsibility for ‎tranquility, although the men have responsibility to provide housing.”‎

Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli said, “Women can maintain family comfort when women’s rights are ‎protected by women themselves and others also consider women’s rights as respectful.”‎

He stressed, “The two pillars that preserve the family are rational wisdom and mercy. The ‎man who has the most practical power must provide financial support and housing and the ‎woman with emotional power provide tranquility. The affection of the woman is far stronger ‎than the man’s affection and the fact that they cry easier is capital. The capital of women is ‎affection that men don’t have.”‎

The teacher in the Islamic Seminary of Qom stated that the woman may cry easily but this ‎cry is a sign of her kindness and affection and said, “Affection administers society. The ‎problem of the increasing rate of divorce today is due to the fact that affection and kindness ‎has been weakened in society and today, there are 15 million cases being investigated in the ‎court system.”‎

Ayatollah Javadi-Amoli said, “The only way to save of the country from these judicial cases ‎is to adhere to the Quran and narrations. The fist is for warfare and external confrontation ‎and when we arrive, this fist must be opened and shaken. If affection and kindness are ‎strengthened in society, the divorce rate decreases and the marriage rate increases.”‎
