Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, woman was created from a rib. You cannot straighten her in any way. If you can benefit from her along with her crookedness, then do so. If you try to straighten her, you will break her (or perhaps a narrator clarified this): To break her means to divorce her."
