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 over them. and allah is exalted in power wise.
والمطلقات يتربصن بأنفسهن ثلاثة قروء ولا يحل لهن أن يكتمن ما خلق الله في أرحامهن إن كن يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر وبعولتهن أحق بردهن في ذلك إن أرادوا إصلاحا ولهن مثل الذي عليهن بالمعروف وللرجال عليهن درجة والله عزيز حكيم
