  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    When ye divorce Women, and they fulfil The term of their (’Iddat), Do not prevent them From marrying Their (former) husbands, If they mutually agree On equitable terms.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:232
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit Women against their will. Nor should ye treat them With harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower Ye have given them,—except Where they have been guilty Of open lewdness; On the contrary live with them On a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them It may be that ye dislike A thing, and God brings about Through it a great deal of good.

    Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:19
