وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ
يَتَرَبَّصْنَ
بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ
ثَلَاثَةَ
قُرُوءٍ
وَلَا
يَحِلُّ
لَهُنَّ
أَن
يَكْتُمْنَ
مَا
خَلَقَ
اللَّهُ
فِي
أَرْحَامِهِنَّ
إِن
كُنَّ
يُؤْمِنَّ
بِاللَّهِ
وَالْيَوْمِ
الْآخِرِ
وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ
أَحَقُّ
بِرَدِّهِنَّ
فِي
ذَلِكَ
إِنْ
أَرَادُوا
إِصْلَاحًا
وَلَهُنَّ
مِثْلُ
الَّذِي
عَلَيْهِنَّ
بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
وَلِلرِّجَالِ
عَلَيْهِنَّ
دَرَجَةٌ
وَاللَّهُ
عَزِيزٌ
حَكِيمٌ

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.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods of purity [after menses], and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day; and their husbands have a greater right to restore them during this [duration], if they desire reconcilement. The wives have rights similar to the obligations upon them, in accordance with honourable norms; and men have a degree above them, and Allah is all-mighty and all-wise.
