سورة النساء، الآية ١٢٩Surah An-Nisa, ayah 129 (4:129)
وَلَن تَسۡتَطِيعُوٓاْ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَلَوۡ حَرَصۡتُمۡ فَلَا تَمِيلُواْ كُلَّ ٱلۡمَيۡلِ فَتَذَرُوهَا كَٱلۡمُعَلَّقَةِ وَإِن تُصۡلِحُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا ١٢٩
The meaning in English
You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allâh by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

التفسير الميسر
ولن تقدروا -أيها الرجال- على تحقيق العدل التام بين النساء في المحبة وميل القلب، مهما بذلتم في ذلك من الجهد، فلا تعرضوا عن المرغوب عنها كل الإعراض، فتتركوها كالمرأة التي ليست بذات زوج ولا هي مطلقة فتأثموا. وإن تصلحوا أعمالكم فتعدلوا في قَسْمكم بين زوجاتكم، وتراقبوا الله تعالى وتخشوه فيهن، فإن الله تعالى كان غفورًا لعباده، رحيمًا بهم
