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

The divorced women must wait up to three menstrual cycles before another marriage. If they believe in God and the Day of Judgment, it is not lawful for them to hide what God has created in their wombs. Within their waiting period their husbands have the right to resume marital relations, if they want reconciliation. Women have benefits as well as responsibilities. Men have a status above women. God is Majestic and Wise.
