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).

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。
