Some Quranic Verses that Deal with Divorce

أعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

But if their intention is firm for divorce, Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

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.

A divorce is only permissible twice: after that, the parties should either hold together on equitable terms or separate with kindness.  It is not lawful for you (men) to take back any of your gifts (from your wives), except when both parties fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah.  If ye (judges) do indeed fear that they would be unable to keep the limits ordained by Allah, there is no blame on either of them if she gives something for her freedom.  These are the limits ordained by Allah; so do not transgress them.  If any do transgress the limits ordained by Allah, such persons wrong (themselves as well as others).

So if a husband divorces his wife (irrevocably), he cannot after that, re-marry her until after she has married another husband and he has divorced her.  In that case there is no blame on either of them if they re-unite, provided they feel that they can keep the limits ordained by Allah.  Such are the limits ordained by Allah, which He makes plain to those who understand.

When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their (`Iddah), either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them, (or) to take undue advantage; if anyone does that he wrongs his own soul.  Do not treat Allah’s Signs as a jest, but solemnly rehearse Allah’s favours on you, and the fact that He sent down to you the Book and Wisdom, for your instruction.  And fear Allah and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.

When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their (`Iddah) do not prevent them from marrying their (former) husbands, if they mutually agree on equitable terms.  This instruction is for all amongst you who believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is (the course making for) most virtue and purity amongst you and Allah knows, and ye know not.

The mothers shall give suck to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term.  But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms.  No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child Nor father on account of his child.  An heir shall be chargeable in the same way if they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation.  There is no blame on them.  If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring there is no blame on you provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms.  But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do.

Quran 2:227 to 233

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

O Prophet! when ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods: and fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness. Those are limits set by Allah: and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation.

Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms; and take for witness two persons from among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence (as) before Allah. Such is the admonition given to him who believes in Allah and the Last Day.  And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out

And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine.  And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him.  For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.

Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs) their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

That is the Command of Allah which He has sent down to you: And if anyone fears Allah He will remove his ills from him, and will enlarge His reward.

Let the women live (in ‘iddah) in the same style as ye live, according to your means: annoy them not, so as to restrict them.  And if they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable.  And if ye find yourselves in difficulties let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father’s) behalf.

Let the man of means spend according to his means: and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him.  Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what he has given him.  After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief.

How many populations that insolently opposed the command of their Lord and of His messengers did We not then call to account― to severe account?― And We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment.
