And wed the singles among you, and those who are fit among your servants and maids. If they are poor, God will enrich them from His bounty. God is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing.
Does the Qur'an mention arranged marriage?
In short
- The text says: those addressed are to wed the singles among them and the fit among their servants (24:32); not to prevent divorced women from marrying their husbands when they agree on fair terms (2:232); and it is not permitted to inherit women against their will, where Palmer has their estates, nor to coerce them (4:19).
- The text does not say: anything about a marriage arranged by a family, nor who chooses the spouse.
- The rest comes from: a report outside the Qur'an, set out in full below: consulting women (Bukhari 5136).

Where the renderings split
24:32, Itani: "And wed the singles among you"
24:32, Pickthall: "And marry such of you as are solitary"
24:32, Palmer: "And marry the single amongst you"
24:32, Rodwell: "And marry those among you who are single"
24:32, Sale: "Marry those who are single among you"
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The text speaks to those who marry others off, and to those who would stand in a woman's way. At 24:32 Itani has "And wed the singles among you", spoken to the community, not to the one marrying.
At 2:232 Pickthall has "place not difficulties in the way of their marrying their husbands if it is agreed between them in kindness". At 4:19 Itani has "It is not permitted for you to inherit women against their will".
No verse names an arranged marriage, and none says who chooses the spouse. Outside the Qur'an, a report in which the Prophet is quoted as saying that a woman who has been married before is not to be married without being consulted, and a virgin not without her permission, which is her silence, is in Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 67: Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah) (Bukhari 5136).
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 24:32, widening across 3 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

And let those who do not find the means to marry abstain, until God enriches them from His bounty. If any of your servants wish to be freed, grant them their wish, if you recognize some good in them. And give them of God's wealth which he has given you. And do not compel your girls to prostitution, seeking the materials of this life, if they desire to remain chaste. Should anyone compel them-after their compulsion, God is Forgiving and Merciful.
And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye may seek enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity. And if one force them, then (unto them), after their compulsion, lo! Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful
And let those who cannot find a match, until God enriches them of His grace, keep chaste.

And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire to keep continent, in order to crave the goods of the life of this world; but he who does compel them, then, verily, God after they are compelled is forgiving, compassionate
And let those who cannot find a match live in continence till God of His bounty shall enrich them. And to those of your slaves who desire a deed of manumission, execute it for them, if ye know good in them, and give them a portion of the wealth of God which He hath given you. Force not your female slaves into sin, in order that ye may gain the casual fruitions of this world, if they wish to preserve their modesty. Yet if any one compel them, then Verily to them, after their compulsion, will God be Forgiving, Merciful
And let those who find not a match, keep themselves from fornication, until God shall enrich them of his abundance. And unto such of your slaves as desire a written instrument allowing them to redeem themselves on paying a certain sum, write one, if ye know good in them; and give them of the riches of God, which He hath given you. And compel not your maid-servants to prostitute themselves, if they be willing to live chastly; that ye may seek the casual advantage of this present life: But whoever shall compel them thereto, verily God will be gracious and merciful unto such women after their compulsion

When ye divorce women, and they have reached their prescribed term, do not prevent them from marrying their (fresh) husbands, when they have agreed with each other reasonably. That is what he is admonished with who amongst you believes in God and in the last day. That is more pure for you and cleaner. But God knows, and ye know not
And when ye divorce your wives, and they have waited the prescribed time, hinder them not from marrying their husbands when they have agreed among themselves in an honourable way. This warning is for him among you who believeth in God and in the last day. This is most pure for you, and most decent. God knoweth, but ye know not
But when ye have divorced your wives, and they have fulfilled their prescribed time, hinder them not from marrying their husbands, when they have agreed among themselves according to what is honourable. This is given in admonition unto him among you who believeth in God, and the last day. This is most righteous for you, and most pure. God knoweth, but ye know not

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Kur burrat t'i kenë ndarë gratë dhe kur këto ta kenë plotësuar kohën e pritjes, mos i pengoni ato që të martohen sërish me burrat e tyre, në qoftë se të dyja palët pajtohen në mënyrë të arsyeshme. Kjo këshillë vlen për çdonjërin nga ju që e beson Allahun dhe Ditën e Fundit. Kjo është më e dobishme dhe më e pastër për ju. Allahu di, kurse ju nuk dini.
আর তোমরা যখন স্ত্রীদেরকে (তিন তালাকের কম) তালাক দাও এবং তারা তাদের ‘ইদ্দতকাল পূর্ণ করে, তারপর তারা যদি ন্যায়সংগত পদ্ধতিতে পরম্পর সম্মত হয়, তবে স্ত্রীরা নিজেদের (পূর্বের) স্বামীদের (পুনরায়) বিয়ে করতে চাইলে তোমরা (অভিভাবকরা) তাদেরকে বাধা দিও না। এ দ্বারা তাকেই উপদেশ দেয়া হচ্ছে যে তোমাদের মধ্যে আল্লাহ ও আখিরাতে ঈমান রাখে। এটাই তোমাদের জন্য বিশুদ্ধ ও পবিত্রতম পন্থা। আর আল্লাহ (সকল বস্তুর মূল রহস্য ও পরিণতি সম্পর্কে) জানেন; অথচ তোমরা তা জানো না।
A kada pustite supruge, pa ispune svoj razvodni rok, ne ometajte ih da se udaju za muževe svoje, kada se slože da lijepo žive! Ovim se savjetuju oni među vama koji vjeruju u Allaha i Posljednji dan. Tako vam je čednije i čestitije. A Allah zna, a vi ne znate.

და როდესაც თქვენ (ო, ქმრებო) განქორწინებას აძლევთ თქვენს ცოლებს (პირველად ან მეორედ) და ისინი მიაღწევენ თავიანთ ვადას (ანუ მათი ‘იდდა დასრულდება), მაშინ თქვენ (ო, ქალთა მეურვეებო) ნუ შეუშლით მათ ხელს, კვლავ შევიდნენ ქორწინებაში თავიანთ ქმრებთან (ახალი საქორწინო შეთანხმების დადებით), თუ ისინი — ქმარი და ცოლი შეთანხმდებიან ერთმანეთთან წესისამებრ (რაც შეესაბამება შარიათს და გონივრულობას). ამით შეგაგონებენ თქვენგან მათ, ვისაც სწამს ალლაჰისა და უკანასკნელი დღის. ეს — ამ დადგენილებათა შესრულება — თქვენთვის არის ყველაზე უკეთესი (როგორც საქმე) და ყველაზე სუფთა (ცოდვებისგან). და ალლაჰმა იცის, (რაშია თქვენთვის სარგებელი), ხოლო თქვენ არ იცით (ეს).
Und wenn ihr euch von den Frauen scheidet und sie dann ihre festgesetzte Zeit erreicht haben, so haltet sie nicht davon ab, ihre (vorigen) Gatten (wieder) zu heiraten, wenn sie sich in rechtlicher Weise miteinander geeinigt haben. Damit wird derjenige von euch ermahnt, der an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt. Das ist lauterer für euch und reiner. Und Allah weiß, ihr aber wisst nicht.
Και όταν χωρίσετε (για πρώτη ή δεύτερη φορά) τις γυναίκες σας και έχουν εκπληρώσει (ήδη) την ορισμένη περίοδο (αναμονής -‘Είντα-) τους (χωρίς να τις έχετε επιστρέψει στον έγγαμο βίο, και θέλετε να τις ξανά παντρευτείτε), μην τις αποτρέπετε (ω, κηδεμόνες των γυναικών, όπως ο πατέρας ή ο αδελφός τους) από το να (ξανά) παντρευτούν τους συζύγους τους (με καινούργιο συμβόλαιο γάμου) αν συμφωνούν μεταξύ τους με την καλοσύνη (και τον δίκαιο τρόπο). Αυτό (που σας διέταξα) το λαμβάνουν υπόψη όσοι από σας πιστεύουν στον Αλλάχ και στην Έσχατη Ημέρα. (Και το να επιστρέψουν ξανά στους συζύγους τους) αυτό είναι καλύτερο για σας και πιο αγνό, και ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει κι εσείς δε γνωρίζετε.
और जब तुम स्त्रियों को तलाक़ दो, फिर वे अपनी निश्चित अवधि (इद्दत) को पहुँच जाएँ, तो उन्हें अपने पतियों से विवाह करने से न रोको, जबकि वे भले तरीक़े से आपस में विवाह करने पर सहमत हो जाएँ। यह बात है जिसका उपदेश तुममें से उसे दिया जा रहा है, जो अल्लाह तथा अंतिम दिन (प्रलय) पर ईमान रखता है। यह तुम्हारे लिए अधिक स्वच्छ तथा अधिक पवित्र है और अल्लाह जानता है और तुम नहीं जानते।
E se divorziate dalle donne e poi loro raggiungono la scadenza, non impedite loro di risposare gli ex-mariti, se si metteranno d’accordo benevolmente. Con questo si avverte chi tra di voi crede in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno; quella è per voi cosa più virtuosa e pura. E Allāh sa e voi non sapete.
232. Ir kai jūs išsiskyrėte su žmonomis ir jos pabaigė joms nustatytą laikotarpį, nekliudykite joms susituokti su jų (buvusiais) vyrais, jei tie abipusiškai sutaria priimtinomis sąlygomis. Šitas (pamokymas) yra perspėjimas tam iš jūsų, kuris tiki Allahą ir Paskutiniąją Dieną. Tai teisingiau ir tyriau jums. Allahas žino, o jūs nežinote.

Если же вы развелись со своими жёнами и они достигли своего срока, то не препятствуйте им выходить замуж за своих [бывших] мужей, если они договорились между собой согласно одобряемому. Этим увещевается тот из вас, кто верует в Аллаха и в Последний день. Это лучше для вас и чище. Воистину, Аллах знает, а вы не знаете.
А када разведете супруге, па испуне свој разводни рок, не ометајте их да се удају за мужеве своје, када се сложе да лепо живе! Овим се саветују они међу вама који верују у Аллаха и Последњи дан. Тако вам је чедније и честитије. А Аллах зна, а ви не знате.
Na mtakapowataliki wanawake, nao wakamaliza muda wao (wa eda), basi msiwazuie kuoleka kwa waume zao endapo baina yao wamekubaliana kwa wema. Hayo anawaidhiwa kwayo yule miongoni mwenu anayemwamini Mwenyezi Mungu na Siku ya Mwisho. Hayo ni bora zaidi kwenu na safi kabisa. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua, lakini nyinyi hamjui.
Och om ni har skilt er från era hustrur [färre än tre gånger] och deras vänteperiod löpt ut, får ni [förmyndare] inte hindra dem från att gifta sig med sina tidigare makar, såvida de kommer överens om det på ett hederligt sätt. Med detta förmanas den av er som tror på Gud och den yttersta dagen. Detta är både bättre och renare för er. Ja, Gud vet och ni vet inte.
Kadınları boşadığınız vakit, onlar da bekleme sürelerini bitirince aralarında meşru bir şekilde anlaştıkları takdirde, kocalarıyla birlikte (tekrardan) evlenmelerine engel olmayın. İşte, sizden Allah’a ve ahiret gününe iman edenlere, bununla öğüt veriliyor. Bu, sizin için daha faydalı ve daha temizdir. Allah bilir, siz bilmezsiniz.
اور جب تم اپنی عورتوں کو طلاق دو اور وه اپنی عدت پوری کرلیں تو انہیں ان کے خاوندوں سے نکاح کرنے سے نہ روکو جب کہ وه آپس میں دستور کے مطابق رضامند ہوں[1] ۔ یہ نصیحت انہیں کی جاتی ہے جنہیں تم میں سے اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور قیامت کے دن پر یقین وایمان ہو، اس میں تمہاری بہترین صفائی اور پاکیزگی ہے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ جانتا ہے اور تم نہیں جانتے۔

If he divorces her, she shall not be lawful for him again until she has married another husband. If the latter divorces her, then there is no blame on them for reuniting, provided they think they can maintain God's limits. These are God's limits; He makes them clear to people who know.
And if he hath divorced her (the third time), then she is not lawful unto him thereafter until she hath wedded another husband. Then if he (the other husband) divorce her it is no sin for both of them that they come together again if they consider that they are able to observe the limits of Allah. These are the limits of Allah. He manifesteth them for people who have knowledge
But if he divorce her (a third time) she shall not be lawful to him after that, until she marry another husband; but, if he divorce her too, it is no crime in them both to come together again, if they think that they can keep within God's bounds. These are God's bounds which He explains to a people who know
But if the husband divorce her a third time, it is not lawful for him to take her again, until she shall have married another husband; and if he also divorce her, then shall no blame attach to them if they return to each other, thinking that they can keep within the bounds fixed by God. And these are the bounds of God; He maketh them clear to those who have knowledge
But if the husband divorce her a third time, she shall not be lawful for him again, until she marry another husband. But if he also divorce her, it shall be no crime in them, if they return to each other, if they think they can observe the ordinances of God; and these are the ordinances of God, he declareth them to people of understanding

When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, either retain them amicably, or release them amicably. But do not retain them to hurt them and commit aggression. Whoever does that has wronged himself. And do not take God's revelations for a joke. And remember God's favor to you, and that He revealed to you the Scripture and Wisdom to teach you. And fear God, and know that God is aware of everything.
When ye have divorced women, and they have reached their term, then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. Retain them not to their hurt so that ye transgress (the limits). He who doeth that hath wronged his soul. Make not the revelations of Allah a laughing-stock (by your behaviour), but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom, whereby He doth exhort you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all things
When ye divorce women, and they have reached the prescribed time, then keep them kindly, or let them go in reason, but do not keep them by force to transgress; for whoso does that, he is unjust to his own soul: and do not take God's signs in jest; and remember God's favours to you, and what He has sent down to you of the Book and wisdom, to admonish you thereby; and fear God, and know that God doth all things know
But when ye divorce women, and the time for sending them away is come, either retain them with generosity, or put them away with generosity: but retain them not by constraint so as to be unjust towards them. He who doth so, doth in fact injure himself. And make not the signs of God a jest; but remember God's favour toward you, and the Book and the Wisdom which He hath sent down to you for your warning, and fear God, and know that God's knowledge embraceth everything
But when ye divorce women, and they have fulfilled their prescribed time, either retain them with humanity, or dismiss them with kindness; and retain them not by violence, so that ye transgress; for he who doth this, surely injureth his own soul. And make not the signs of God a jest: But remember God's favour towards you, and that he hath sent down unto you the book of the Koran, and wisdom, admonishing you thereby; and fear God, and know that God is omniscient

Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do.
Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the child. No-one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be made to suffer because of her child, nor should he to whom the child is born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation, it is no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse, it is no sin for you, provide that ye pay what is due from you in kindness. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do
Mothers must suckle their children two whole years for one who wishes to complete the time of suckling; and on him to whom it is born its sustenance and clothing are incumbent; but in reason, for no soul shall be obliged beyond its capacity. A mother shall not be forced for her child; nor he to whom it is born for his child. And the same (is incumbent) on the heir (of the father). But if both parties wish to wean, by mutual consent and counsel, then it is no crime in them. And if ye wish to provide a wet-nurse for your children, it is no crime in you when you pay what you have promised her, in reason. Fear God, and know that God on what ye do doth look
Mothers, when divorced, shall give suck to their children two full years, if the father desire that the suckling be completed; and such maintenance and clothing as is fair for them, shall devolve on the father. No person shall be charged beyond his means. A mother shall not be pressed unfairly for her child, nor a father for his child: And the same with the father's heir. But if they choose to wean the child by consent and by bargain, it shall be no fault in them. And if ye choose to have a nurse for your children, it shall be no fault in you, in case ye pay what ye promised her according to that which is fair. Fear God, and know that God seeth what ye do
Mothers after they are divorced shall give suck unto their children two full years, to him who desireth the time of giving suck to be completed; and the father shall be obliged to maintain them and cloath them in the mean time, according to that which shall be reasonable. No person shall be obliged beyond his ability. A mother shall not be compelled to what is unreasonable on account of her child, nor a father on account of his child. And the heir of the father shall be obliged to do in like manner. But if they choose to wean the child before the end of two years, by common consent, and on mutual consideration, it shall be no crime in them. And if ye have a mind to provide a nurse for your children, it shall be no crime in you, in case ye fully pay what ye offer her, according to that which is just. And fear God, and know that God seeth whatsoever ye do

As for those among you who die and leave widows behind, their widows shall wait by themselves for four months and ten days. When they have reached their term, there is no blame on you regarding what they might honorably do with themselves. God is fully acquainted with what you do.
Such of you as die and leave behind them wives, they (the wives) shall wait, keeping themselves apart, four months and ten days. And when they reach the term (prescribed for them) then there is no sin for you in aught that they may do with themselves in decency. Allah is informed of what ye do
Those of you who die and leave wives behind, let these wait by themselves for four months and ten days; and when they have reached their prescribed time, there is no crime in them for what they do with themselves in reason; for God of what ye do is well aware
If those of you who die leave wives, they must await their state during four months and ten days; and when this their term is expired, you shall not be answerable for the way in which they shall dispose of themselves fairly. And God is cognisant of what ye do
Such of you as die, and leave wives, their wives must wait concerning themselves four months and ten days, and when they shall have fulfilled their term, it shall be no crime in you, for that which they shall do with themselves, according to what is reasonable. God well knoweth that which ye do

O you who believe! It is not permitted for you to inherit women against their will. And do not coerce them in order to take away some of what you had given them, unless they commit a proven adultery. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike something in which God has placed much good.

O ye who believe! It is not lawful for you forcibly to inherit the women (of your deceased kinsmen), nor (that) ye should put constraint upon them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them, unless they be guilty of flagrant lewdness. But consort with them in kindness, for if ye hate them it may happen that ye hate a thing wherein Allah hath placed much good
O ye who believe! it is not lawful for you to inherit women's estates against their will; nor to hinder them, that ye may go off with part of what ye brought them, unless they commit fornication manifestly; but associate with them in reason, for if ye are averse from them, it may be that ye are averse from something wherein God has put much good for you
O believers! it is not allowed you to be heirs of your wives against their will; nor to hinder them from marrying, in order to take from them part of the dowry you had given them, unless they have been guilty of undoubted lewdness; but associate kindly with them: for if ye are estranged from them, haply ye are estranged from that in which God hath placed abundant good
O true believers, it is not lawful for you to be heirs of women against their will, nor to hinder them from marrying others, that ye may take away part of what ye have given them in dowry; unless they have been guilty of a manifest crime: But converse kindly with them. And if ye hate them, it may happen that ye may hate a thing wherein God hath placed much good

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

O besimtarë! Nuk ju lejohet t'i trashëgoni gratë (e të afërmve tuaj) me forcë. As mos i shtrëngoni[9] ato (gra tuaja që nuk i doni), me qëllim që t'u merrni një pjesë të pasurisë (mehrit) që ua keni dhënë, përveç nëse bëjnë ndonjë paturpësi të qartë. Çoni jetë të mirë me to! E, nëse nuk ju pëlqejnë (durojini, sepse), është e mundur që të urreni diçka e Allahu të sjellë përmes saj mirësi të shumta.
হে মুমিনগণ! জবরদস্তি করে (সম্পদের ন্যায় তোমাদের বাপ-দাদার স্ত্রীদের) নারীদের ওয়ারিশ হওয়া তোমাদের জন্য বৈধ নয়। (এমনিভাবে) তোমাদের জন্যে বৈধ নয় যে, তোমরা তাদেরকে (মোহরানার) যা দিয়েছ তা থেকে কিছু আত্মসাৎ করার উদ্দেশ্যে তাদেরকে অবরুদ্ধ করে রাখা। তবে তারা (অবাধ্যতা ও) ব্যভিচারের ন্যায় সুস্পষ্ট অশ্লীলতায় লিপ্ত হয়ে থাকলে, ভিন্ন কথা। আর তোমরা তাদের সাথে সদ্ভাবে ও সম্মানজনকভাবে জীবন যাপন করবে। তোমরা যদি তাদেরকে (স্ত্রীদেরকে) অপছন্দ করো, তবে এমন হতে পারে যে, তোমরা একটি জিনিসকে অপছন্দ করছ আর আল্লাহ তাতে প্রভূত কল্যাণ রেখেছেন।
O vi koji vjerujete, ne dozvoljava vam se da žene preko volje njihove u naslijeđe uzimate i da im poteškoće pričinjavate s namjerom da nešto od onoga što ste im dali prisvojite, osim ako budu učinile očiti razvrat. Prema njima se lijepo ophodite. A ako prema njima ne osjetite želju, pa moguće je da ne volite nešto u čemu je Allah veliko dobro dao.

O die ihr glaubt, es ist euch nicht erlaubt, die Frauen wider (ihren) Willen zu erben. Und drangsaliert sie nicht, um (ihnen) einen Teil von dem, was ihr ihnen gegeben habt, zu nehmen, außer wenn sie etwas klar Abscheuliches begehen. Und geht in rechtlicher Weise mit ihnen um. Sollten sie euch zuwider sein, dann (kann es sein, dass) euch vielleicht etwas zuwider ist, während Allah viel Gutes in es hineinlegt.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Απαγορεύεται να παίρνετε τις γυναίκες (τις συζύγους των πατέρων και των συγγενών σας) ως κληρονομιά (να τις αποτρέψετε από το να παντρευτούν άλλον άνδρα, ή να τις κάνετε να παντρευτούν άλλον άνδρα) παρά τη θέλησή τους. Και να μην κρατάτε αυτές (τις συζύγους σας που θέλετε να χωρίσετε, στο γάμο εμποδίζοντάς τους να παντρευτούν άλλους) για να πάρετε μέρος της προίκας που τους έχετε δώσει, εκτός κι αν διαπράξουν φανερή αισχρή πράξη (μοιχεία) (σ' αυτήν την περίπτωση επιτρέπεται να πάρετε πίσω την προίκα). Και να ζείτε μαζί τους με τον καλύτερο τρόπο. Αν τις μισείτε, ίσως να μισείτε κάτι, που ο Αλλάχ να φέρει μέσω αυτού πολλά καλά (που δεν τα περιμένετε).
ऐ ईमान वालो! तुम्हारे लिए हलाल (वैध) नहीं कि ज़बरदस्ती स्त्रियों के वारिस बन जाओ।[14] और उन्हें इसलिए न रोके रखो कि तुमने उन्हें जो कुछ दिया है, उसमें से कुछ ले लो, सिवाय इसके कि वे खुली बुराई कर बैठें। तथा उनके साथ भली-भाँति[15] जीवन व्यतीत करो। फिर यदि तुम उन्हें नापसंद करो, तो संभव है कि तुम किसी चीज़ को नापसंद करो और अल्लाह उसमें बहुत ही भलाई[16] रख दे।
O credenti, non vi è permesso ereditare le mogli contro la loro volontà! E non costringetele per sottrarre loro una parte di ciò che avete già dato loro in passato – a meno che non abbiano commesso un’evidente nefandezza – e vivete insieme a loro come si deve. Se un giorno doveste odiarle, forse odiereste una cosa in cui Allāh potrebbe aver riposto un grande bene!
19. O jūs, kurie tikite! Jums draudžiama paveldėti moteris prieš jų valią. Ir neturėtumėte su jomis elgtis grubiai, kad galėtumėte atsiimti dalį Mahr [3], kurį joms suteikėte, nebent jos atvirai užsiima neteisėtais lytiniais santykiais. Ir gyvenkite su jomis garbingai. Jei jų nemėgstate, gali būti, kad jūs nemėgstate vieno dalyko, o Allahas suteikia per jį daug gero.

О вы, которые уверовали! Не дозволено вам наследовать женщин против их воли. Не удерживайте их с целью забрать часть того, что вы им даровали, [если] только они не совершат явную мерзость, и обходитесь с ними согласно одобряемому. Если вы их невзлюбили, то, — быть может, вы невзлюбили нечто, а Аллах заложил в этом великое благо.
О ви који верујете, не дозвољава вам се да жене преко воље њихове у наслеђе узимате и да им потешкоће причињавате са намером да нешто од онога што сте им дали присвојите, осим ако буду учиниле очигледни разврат. Према њима се лепо опходите. А ако према њима не осетите жељу, па могуће је да не волите нешто у чему је Аллах велико добро дао.
Enyi mlioamini! Si halali kwenu kuwarithi wanawake kwa nguvu. Wala msiwadhikishe ili muwapokonye baadhi ya mlivyowapa, isipokuwa wakifanya uchafu ulio wazi. Na kaeni nao kwa wema. Na ikiwa mmewachukia, basi huenda mkakichukia kitu, na Mwenyezi Mungu ametia heri nyingi ndani yake.
Troende! Det är inte tillåtet för er att ärva kvinnor mot deras vilja. Behandla dem inte illa för att ta tillbaka något av det ni har gett dem, om de inte tydligt har gjort sig skyldiga till otukt. Lev med dem på ett hedersamt sätt. Och om ni känner motvilja mot dem, kan det vara så att ni känner motvilja mot något i vilket Gud har lagt mycket gott.
Ey iman edenler! (Ölen babalarınızın) kadınlarını miras yoluyla zorla almanız size helal değildir. Apaçık bir fuhuş işlemedikçe (mehir olarak) verdiklerinizin bir kısmını elde etmek için onları (başkalarıyla evlenmelerine) engel olmak için nikahınızda tutmayın. Onlarla güzel güzel geçinin. Onlardan hoşlanmasanız bile, umulur ki sizin hoşunuza gitmeyen bir şeyde Allah bir çok hayır takdir eder.
ایمان والو! تمہیں حلال نہیں کہ زبردستی عورتوں کو ورثے میں لے بیٹھو[1] انہیں اس لئے روک نہ رکھو کہ جو تم نے انہیں دے رکھا ہے، اس میں سے کچھ لے لو[2] ہاں یہ اور بات ہے کہ وه کوئی کھلی برائی اور بے حیائی کریں[3] ان کے ساتھ اچھے طریقے سے بودوباش رکھو، گو تم انہیں ناپسند کرو لیکن بہت ممکن ہے کہ تم کسی چیز کو برا جانو، اور اللہ تعالیٰ اس میں بہت ہی بھلائی کر دے۔[4]

Repentance is available from God for those who commit evil out of ignorance, and then repent soon after. These-God will relent towards them. God is Knowing and Wise.
Forgiveness is only incumbent on Allah toward those who do evil in ignorance (and) then turn quickly (in repentance) to Allah. These are they toward whom Allah relenteth. Allah is ever Knower, Wise
God is only bound to turn again towards those who do evil through ignorance and then turn again. Surely, these will God turn again to, for God is knowing, wise
With God himself will the repentance of those who have done evil ignorantly, and then turn speedily unto Him, be accepted. These! God will turn unto them: for God is Knowing, Wise
Verily repentance will be accepted with God, from those who do evil ignorantly, and then repent speedily; unto them will God be turned: For God is knowing and wise

But repentance is not available for those who commit evils, until when death approaches one of them, he says, "Now I repent," nor for those who die as disbelievers. These-We have prepared for them a painful torment.
The forgiveness is not for those who do ill-deeds until, when death attendeth upon one of them, he saith: Lo! I repent now; nor yet for those who die while they are disbelievers. For such We have prepared a painful doom
His turning again is not for those who do evil, until, when death comes before one of them, he says, 'Now I turn again;' nor yet forth those who die in misbelief. For such as these have we prepared a grievous woe
But no place of repentance shall there be for those who do evil, until, when death is close to one of them, he saith, "Now verily am I turned to God;" nor to those who die unbelievers. These! we have made ready for them a grievous torment
But no repentance shall be accepted from those who do evil until the time when death presenteth it self unto one of them, and he saith, verily I repent now; nor unto those who die unbelievers: For them have we prepared a grievous punishment
