Imam Ali (AS) said, If you see something suspicious from your women, then assign to them a guard who will watch over the old and young [among the family, and not for the women in particular as this will cause them unease], and beware not to continuously scold them for this will incite them to commit sins and make it easy for them to bear the scolding [as they will become accustomed to it].
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : إنْ رَأَيْتَ مِنْ نِسائِكَ ريبَةً فاجْعَلْ لَهُنَّ النَّكِيرَ عَلَى الكَبِيرِ والصَّغِيرِ وَ إيّاكَ أنْ تُكَرِّرَ الْعَتْبَ فَإنَّ ذلِكَ يُغْرِي بِالذَّنْبِ وَ يُهَوِّنُ العَتْبَ
