Quran 4:129
وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ ۖ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا۟ كُلَّ ٱلْمَيْلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ ۚ وَإِن تُصْلِحُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
| EnglishTalal Itani | You will not be able to treat women with equal fairness, no matter how much you desire it. But do not be so biased as to leave another suspended. If you make amends, and act righteously—Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one), leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful. |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | Kadınlarınız arasında her veçhile âdil davranmaya ne kadar hırs besleseniz yine muktedir olamazsınız, bâri büsbütün meyledip de ötekini askıda kalmış gibi bırakmayın, ve eğer arayi düzeltir ve haksızlıktan korunursanız şüphe yokki Allah Gafur, Rahim bulunuyor. |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | Vous ne pourrez jamais traiter également toutes vos femmes, quand même vous le désireriez ardemment. Gardez-vous donc de suivre entièrement la pente, et d’en laisser une comme en suspens ; mais si vous êtes généreux et si vous craignez Dieu, il est indulgent et miséricordieux. |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Gij kunt nimmer gelijkelijk omtrent uwe vrouwen handelen; tracht het echter; wend u daarom niet met tegenzin van uwe vrouw af, noch verlaat haar als eene die geschorst is, maar indien gij haar tevreden stelt en vreest haar te misbruiken, zal God genadig en barmhartig zijn. |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | Non potrete mai trattare egualmente tutte le vostre donne, quand’anche lo desideraste ardentemente. Guardatevi dunque di seguire intieramente il pendio, e di lasciarne una come in sospeso; ma se siete generosi e se temete Dio, egli è indulgente e misericordioso. |
