وَ الْمُطَلَّقٰتُ یَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِهِنَّ ثَلٰثَةَ قُرُوْٓءٍؕ-وَ لَا یَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ اَنْ یَّكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ فِیْۤ اَرْحَامِهِنَّ اِنْ كُنَّ یُؤْمِنَّ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِؕ-وَ بُعُوْلَتُهُنَّ اَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ اِنْ اَرَادُوْۤا اِصْلَاحًاؕ-وَ لَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِیْ عَلَیْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ۪-وَ لِلرِّجَالِ عَلَیْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(228)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And the divorced women will wait for three menstrual cycles. It is not permissible for them to conceal what Allah created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Day of Judgement. And their husbands have the right to take them back within this duration if they have the intention of betterment.[1] According to the shari‘ah, women have a right over men just as they (men) do over women, and men have a degree above them. And Allah is Predominant, Most-Wise.

Commentary

[1]

From the wording of this verse, it is clear that for reunion in a revocable divorce, the choice of the man will suffice (mutual consent is not required). However, reunion for revenge or to oppress the woman is an evil act. Unfortunately, the ignorance of persecuting women and their families through marriage or reunion with evil intent to exact revenge still exists.
