A divorce is only permissible twice: after that, the parties should either hold Together on equitable terms, or separate with kindness. It is not lawful for you, (Men), to take back any of your gifts (from your wives), except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah. If ye (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she give something for her freedom. These are the limits ordained by Allah; so do not transgress them if any do transgress the limits ordained by Allah, such persons wrong (Themselves as well as others).

O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.

This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).

O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women refugees, examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain that they are Believers, then send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them. But pay the Unbelievers what they have spent (on their dower), and there will be no blame on you if ye marry them on payment of their dower to them. But hold not to the guardianship of unbelieving women: ask for what ye have spent on their dowers, and let the (Unbelievers) ask for what they have spent (on the dowers of women who come over to you). Such is the command of Allah: He judges (with justice) between you. And Allah is Full of Knowledge and Wisdom.

休妻是两次，此後应当以善意挽留（她们），或以优礼解放（她们）。你们已经给过她们的财产，丝毫不得取回，除非夫妻两人恐怕不能遵守真主的法度。如果你们恐怕他们俩不能遵守真主的法度，那末，她以财产赎身，对於他们俩是毫无罪过的。这是真主的法度，你们不要违犯它。谁违犯真主的法度，谁是不义的人。

信道的人们啊！你们不得强占妇女，当作遗产，也不得压迫她们，以便你们收回你们所给她们的一部分聘仪，除非她们作了明显的丑事。你们当善待她们。如果你们厌恶她们，（那末，你们应当忍受她们），因为，或许你们厌恶一件事，而真主在那件事中安置下许多福利。

今天，准许你们吃一切佳美的食物；曾受天经者的食物，对于你们是合法的；你们的食物，对于他们也是合法的；信道的自由女，和曾受天经的自由女，对于你们都是合法的，如果你们把他们的聘仪交给她们，但你们应当是贞节的，不可是淫荡的，也不可是有情人的。谁否认正信，谁的善功，确已无效了；他在后世，是亏折的人。

信道的人们啊！当信女们迁移而来的时候，你们当试验她们。真主是至知她们的信德的--如果你们认为她们确是信女，那末，就不要使她们再归不信道的丈夫。她们对於他们是不合法的，他们对於她们也是不合法的。你们应当把他们所纳的聘礼偿还他们。当你们把她们的聘礼交付给她们的时候，你们娶她们为妻，对於你们是毫无罪过的。你们不要坚持不信道的妻子的婚约，你们当索回你们所纳的聘礼，叫他们也索回他们所纳的聘礼。这是真主的律例，他依此而替你们判决。真主是全知的，是至睿的。
