During the Pagan Era when an Arab decided to divorce his wife and marry a new one, he sometimes accused her of indecencies and fornication, that he could give her not her dower. Or else he, many a time pressed her and harmed her that she would consent and agree with a divorce without a dower, or asking for some little rights that she might have had! So the verse came down to admonish and reproach those cruel men who were doing so:
``And if you have decided to take another wife in place of your present spouse, even if you have given her a lot of wealth, don't try to get the least of it back - Do you indeed want to take it by slander and through manifest sin!?''
