In the name of Allah, the

وَلَن تَسْتَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ بَيْنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتُمْ فَلَا تَمِيلُوا۟ كُلَّ ٱلْمَيْلِفَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلْمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصْلِحُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا (129
وَإِن يَتَفَرَّقَا يُغْنِ ٱللَّهُ كُلًّا مِّن سَعَتِهِۦ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعًاحَكِيمًا (130

129. And 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. And if ye do good and keep from evil,
lo! Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Merciful.
130. And if they separate, Allah will compensate each
out of His abundance. And Allah is ever All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

Commentary
Tastatii-‘uuu – (You will be able to do), it has been derived from ‘ista-taa-‘at, which means ‘to have power,
to be able to do’.
Tamiiluu – (you should Lean), it is from ma-ya-la, which
means ‘to lean, to connect, to agree, to incline to, to draw attention. The
word Miilaan is also
from it, which means inclination.
Mu-‘allaqatin – (in suspense), its base is ta’-liiq, which
means ‘to keep waiting, to postpone, to hang, to suspend’. According to
idiomatic meaning, it aims ‘neither the husband causes the wife to dwell at
home after marriage, nor sets her free by divorcing’. Islam has taken this
state of circumstances as extremely vile act.
Tattaquu – (keep from evil), its origin is ‘ittaqaa’, which
has been derived from taqwaa. Taqwaa is “to
keep away from the evil, the sobriety and abstinence”. ‘Ittaqaa’ means
“to adopt sobriety, to fear from Allah Almighty”.
Before Islam, the Arabians used
to marry as much women as they wished. There was no limit for number of
marriages. After that they used to ignore them carelessly. Some of them were
regarded, but maximum were not contemplated. Islam did not like this act and
approved such device, due to which, this prevalence might be finished in the
process of time.
First of all,
Islam began to correct the marriages from the point that women were raised from
their dropped dignity and disciplined the men that they (women) are not mere
mindless and lifeless idols for completion of your desires (lust), that you use
them as you wish. They are owners of their wealth and property. They have right
in the heritage. You would have to accept them as your equal member, partner,
helper and supporter in maximum affairs. Then, it has been commanded that you
can marry more than one woman with their consent. But you would have to keep
all of them comfortably. And remember! It is not in your control to do justice
between them. You will find that you are unable to behave your wives equally,
although you wished and tried your best. It will never be lawful for you that
you incline more towards one side and the other wife or wives are kept waiting
(in suspense). If you feel that you are not able to retain, then divorce them. Allah Almighty is Lord of the entire creations. Nothing is deficient
near to Him. He will bestow the persons, who are of good intention, too much
Mercifully, that they will become free from necessities of one another.
