English Translation
Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A woman will never be completely straight for you. If you try to enjoy her, you enjoy her while she has crookedness in her. And if you try to straighten her, you will break her — and breaking her is divorcing her.'
