Al-Nisa’ 4: 20–1

It is not lawful that you should put constraint upon them so that you may take away anything of what you have given them; (you may not put constraint upon them)18 unless they are guilty of brazenly immoral conduct. Live with your wives gracefully. If you dislike them in any manner, it may be that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good for you. (20) And if you decide to dispense with a wife in order to take another, do not take away anything of what you might have given the first one, even if you had given her a heap of gold. Would you take it back by slandering her and com- mitting a manifest wrong? (21) How can you take it away after each one has enjoyed the other, and they have taken a firm covenant from you?

18 This injunction is not meant to provide people with an excuse to grab the property of their wives; instead, the purpose is to enable them to put constraint upon them if they are guilty of brazenly immoral conduct.
