Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods. It is unlawful for them, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day, to hide what He has created in their wombs, in which case their husbands would have a better right to restore them should they desire reconciliation. And for them similar to what is due from them with kindness. But men have a degree above them. Allah is Mighty and Wise.
離婚された女は，独身のままで3度の月経を待たねばならない。またもしもかの女らが，アッラーと最後の日を信じるならば，アッラーが胎内に創られたものを，隠すのは合法ではない。（この場合）夫たちがもし和解を望み，その期間内にかの女らを復縁させるならば，一層正当である。女は，公平な状態の下に，かれらに対して対等の権利をもつ。だが男は，女よりも一段上位である。誠にアッラーは偉力ならびなく英明であられる。
