you divorce
ٱلنِّسَآءَ
[the] women
فَبَلَغۡنَ
and they reached
أَجَلَهُنَّ
their (waiting) term
فَلَا
then (do) not
تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ
hinder them
أَن
[that]
يَنكِحۡنَ
(from) marrying
أَزۡوٰجَهُنَّ
their husbands

ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۗ
[the] Last
ذٰلِكُمۡ

لَكُمۡ
for you
وَأَطۡهَرُ‌ۗ

وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يَعۡلَمُ

تَعۡلَمُونَ

٢٣٢
And when you divorce women1 and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they [i.e., all parties] agree among themselves on an acceptable basis. That is instructed to whoever of you believes in Allāh and the Last Day. That is better for you and purer, and Allāh knows and you know not.

٢٣٣
Mothers may nurse [i.e., breastfeed] their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is their [i.e., the mothers'] provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allāh and know that Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
2:234

for themselves
أَرۡبَعَةَ

وَعَشۡرًا‌ۖ
and ten (days)
فَإِذَا
Then when
بَلَغۡنَ
they reach
أَجَلَهُنَّ
their (specified) term
فَلَا
then (there is) no
جُنَاحَ
blame
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
فِيمَا
for what
فَعَلۡنَ
they do
فِىٓ
concerning
أَنفُسِهِنَّ
themselves
بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ‌ۗ
in a fair manner
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
خَبِيرٌ

٢٣٤
And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - they, [the wives, shall] wait four months and ten [days]. And when they have fulfilled their term, then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable manner.1 And Allāh is [fully] Aware of what you do.

Knows
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
أَنَّكُمۡ

And (do) not
تَعۡزِمُواۡ
resolve (on)
عُقۡدَةَ
the knot
ٱلنِّكَاحِ
(of) marriage
حَتَّىٰ
until
يَبۡلُغَ
reaches
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ
the prescribed term
أَجَلَهُۥ‌ۚ
its end
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
And know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

And know

Most Forbearing
٢٣٥
There is no blame upon you for that to which you [indirectly] allude concerning a proposal to women or for what you conceal within yourselves. Allāh knows that you will have them in mind. But do not promise them secretly except for saying a proper saying. And do not determine to undertake a marriage contract until the decreed period1 reaches its end. And know that Allāh knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.
