He said: It refers to a woman who is married to a man whose eyes turn away from her because of her ugliness, her poverty or her bad character, and he wants to leave her, but the wife dislikes separating from him. If the woman gives up something of her right for him, it is lawful for the man; and if she gives up some of her days (her turns), there is no harm in that either.
