Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods. Nor is it lawful for them to hide what Allah Hath created in their wombs, if they have faith in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands have the better right to take them back in that period, if they wish for reconciliation. And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.

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.

It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens): and Allah doth watch over all things.

被休的妇人，当期待三次月经；她们不得隐讳真主造化在她们的子宫里的东西，如果她们确信真主和末日。在等待的期间，她们的丈夫是宜当挽留她们的，如果他们愿意重修旧好。她们应享合理的权利，也应尽合理的义务；男人的权利，比她们高一级。真主是万能的，是至睿的。

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。

以后不准你再娶妇女，也不准你以她们换掉别的妻子，即使你羡慕她们的美貌，除非是你的奴婢。真主是监视万物的。
