The rulings on divorce are set out in these verses: parting from one’s wife in a good manner, with no harm done to the divorced woman, revocable divorces and irrevocable divorce, and separation in return for compensation paid by the wife. They also deal with the waiting period of the divorced woman and of the widow, the oath of abstinence, and the case of a woman divorced before the marriage is consummated.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Divorced women remain in waiting [i.e., do not remarry] for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allāh has created in their wombs if they believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men [i.e., husbands] have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
