"Let the women live (in iddat) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them untilthey deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what isjust and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's) behalf."
