The Aya says:
And the women who gave birth, they breast feed their children two complete years to who wanted to complete the breast feeding. And, the father is obligated the women’s provision and clothing by the appropriate. No self is obligated except her capacity, mother is not harmed by her child and father is not harmed by his child, and the inheritor is obligated similarly. So, if the two wanted separation out of mutual acceptance and consultation, then no tilt to error on them. And if you (plural) wanted to seek breast feeding for your children, then there is no tilt to error on you if you delivered what you brought by the appropriate. And be conscious of Allah, and know that Allah in what you do, viewing.

My personal note:
This Aya continues the same theme and mentions that breast feeding is important for the child and that a woman is asked to do it while the man is asked to provide for it, even in the case of divorce.

The Aya says that the one that inherits the father if he died will have to meet the obligations to the mother as well.
