One of the neo-thinkers who pay special attention to this verse is Azizah al-Hibri. Allamah Tabatabai’s al-Mizan, one of the most important books of Shiite exegeses, also includes an interpretation of this verse. This paper, using a comparative exegesis method, delves into Allamah Tabatabai and al-Hibri’s interpretations of nushūz in the abovementioned verse and what similarities and differences these interpretations have with each other. Allamah Tabatabai considers the identity of a woman to be equal to that of a man and believes that one cannot have a biased view toward women. Thus, common assumptions regarding the hitting of women have no place in his view. Al-Hibri addresses nushūz mostly with emphasis on a narration of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) in which he interprets it as an evident disgrace, that is, adultery and, as a result, she makes the meaning of nushūz much narrower.
