divorce may be pronounced twice and then a woman must be retained honourably or released with kindness. it is not lawful for you to take away anything of what you have given your wives unless both fear that they would not be able to observe the bounds set by god. in such a case it shall be no sin for either of them if the woman opts to give something for her release. these are the bounds set by god do not transgress them. those who transgress the bounds of god are wrongdoers.
الطلاق مرتان فإمساك بمعروف أو تسريح بإحسان ولا يحل لكم أن تأخذوا مما آتيتموهن شيئا إلا أن يخافا ألا يقيما حدود الله فإن خفتم ألا يقيما حدود الله فلا جناح عليهما فيما افتدت به تلك حدود الله فلا تعتدوها ومن يتعد حدود الله فأولئك هم الظالمون
