Commentary
'Are hypocrites' means in spite of being under the wedlock of their husbands, they are ungrateful to them. Just as a hypocrite is insincere to Islam, in spite of his pronouncement of the testimony, in the same way, these women have been compared to hypocrites. They are not branded real hypocrites. A Muslim, however, should not portray such evil comparisons. But demanding to be let go due to a genuine excuse is permissible; such a woman will not fall under this category.
