Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ لَا تَنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكٰتِ حَتّٰی یُؤْمِنَّ ؕ وَ لَاَمَةٌ مُّؤْمِنَةٌ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ مُّشْرِكَةٍ وَّ لَوْ اَعْجَبَتْكُمْ ۚ وَ لَا تُنْكِحُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ حَتّٰی یُؤْمِنُوْا ؕ وَ لَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ مُّشْرِكٍ وَّ لَوْ اَعْجَبَكُمْ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَدْعُوْنَ اِلَی النَّارِ ۖۚ وَ اللّٰهُ یَدْعُوْۤا اِلَی الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ بِاِذْنِهٖ ۚ وَ یُبَیِّنُ اٰیٰتِهٖ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ۠۝۲۲۱

Do not marry idolatrous women unless they join the faith. A maid servant who is a believer is better than an idolatress even though you may like her. And do not marry your daughters to idolaters until they accept the faith. A servant who is a believer is better than an idolater even though you may like him. They invite you to Hell, but God calls you to Paradise and pardon by His grace. And He makes His signs manifest that men may haply take heed.

وَ یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِیْضِ ؕ قُلْ هُوَ اَذًی ۙ فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَآءَ فِی الْمَحِیْضِ ۙ وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْهُنَّ حَتّٰی یَطْهُرْنَ ۚ فَاِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَاْتُوْهُنَّ مِنْ حَیْثُ اَمَرَكُمُ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِیْنَ وَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِیْنَ۝۲۲۲

They ask you about menstruation. Tell them: "This is a period of stress. So keep away from women in this state till they are relieved of it. When they are free of it, you may go to them as God has enjoined. For God loves those who seek pardon, and those who are clean."

نِسَآؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ ۪ فَاْتُوْا حَرْثَكُمْ اَنّٰی شِئْتُمْ ؗ وَ قَدِّمُوْا لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ ؕ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّكُمْ مُّلٰقُوْهُ ؕ وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۲۲۳

Women are like fields for you; so seed them as you intend, but plan the future in advance. And fear God, and remember, you have to face Him in the end. So convey glad tidings to those who believe.

وَ لَا تَجْعَلُوا اللّٰهَ عُرْضَةً لِّاَیْمَانِكُمْ اَنْ تَبَرُّوْا وَ تَتَّقُوْا وَ تُصْلِحُوْا بَیْنَ النَّاسِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۲۲۴

Do not implicate God in your oaths to avoid doing good and being pious and keeping peace among men, for God hears all and knows everything.

لَا یُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّٰهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِیْۤ اَیْمَانِكُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ یُّؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ۝۲۲۵

God will not call you to account for that which is senseless in your oaths, but only for what is in your hearts; for God is forgiving and forbearing.

لِلَّذِیْنَ یُؤْلُوْنَ مِنْ نِّسَآىِٕهِمْ تَرَبُّصُ اَرْبَعَةِ اَشْهُرٍ ۚ فَاِنْ فَآءُوْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۲۲۶

Those who swear to keep away from their wives (with intent of divorcing them) have four months of grace; then if they reconcile (during this period), surely God is forgiving and kind.

وَ اِنْ عَزَمُوا الطَّلَاقَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۲۲۷

And if they are bent on divorce, God hears all and knows everything.

وَ الْمُطَلَّقٰتُ یَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلٰثَةَ قُرُوْٓءٍ ؕ وَ لَا یَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ اَنْ یَّكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ فِیْۤ اَرْحَامِهِنَّ اِنْ كُنَّ یُؤْمِنَّ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ؕ وَ بُعُوْلَتُهُنَّ اَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ اِنْ اَرَادُوْۤا اِصْلَاحًا ؕ وَ لَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِیْ عَلَیْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۪ وَ لِلرِّجَالِ عَلَیْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۠۝۲۲۸

Women who are divorced have to wait for three monthly periods, and if they believe in God and the Last Day they must not hide unlawfully what God has formed within their wombs. Their husbands would do well to take them back in that case, if they wish to be reconciled. Women also have recognised rights as men have, though men have an edge over them. But God is all-mighty and all-wise.

اَلطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتٰنِ ۪ فَاِمْسَاكٌۢ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ تَسْرِیْحٌۢ بِاِحْسَانٍ ؕ وَ لَا یَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَاْخُذُوْا مِمَّاۤ اٰتَیْتُمُوْهُنَّ شَیْـًٔا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّخَافَاۤ اَلَّا یُقِیْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا یُقِیْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِمَا فِیْمَا افْتَدَتْ بِهٖ ؕ تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَعْتَدُوْهَا ۚ وَ مَنْ یَّتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۲۲۹

Divorce is (revokable) two times (after pronouncement), after which (there are two ways open for husbands), either (to) keep (the wives) honourably, or part with them in a decent way. You are not allowed to take away the least of what you have given your wives, unless both of you fear that you would not be able to keep within the limits set by God. If you fear you cannot maintain the bounds fixed by God, there will be no blame on either if the woman redeems herself. Do not exceed the limits of God, for those who exceed the bounds set by God are transgressors.

فَاِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهٗ مِنْۢ بَعْدُ حَتّٰی تَنْكِحَ زَوْجًا غَیْرَهٗ ؕ فَاِنْ طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِمَاۤ اَنْ یَّتَرَاجَعَاۤ اِنْ ظَنَّاۤ اَنْ یُّقِیْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ یُبَیِّنُهَا لِقَوْمٍ یَّعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۳۰

If a man divorces her again (a third time), she becomes unlawful for him (and he cannot remarry her) until she has married another man. Then if he divorces her there is no harm if the two unite again if they think they will keep within the bounds set by God and made clear for those who understand.
