Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

Narrated Ibn Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Regarding the Divine Verse: "O you who believe! You are forbidden to
inherit women against their will, and you should not treat them with
harshness that you may take back part of the (Mahr) dower you have given
them." (4.19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to
have the right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he
would, or they would give her in marriage if they wished, or, if they
wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they would be more
entitled to dispose her, than her own relatives. So the above Verse was
revealed in this connection.
