Give women their dowries graciously. But if they willingly forego some of it, then consume it with enjoyment and pleasure.
What does the Qur'an say about the marriage gift (mahr) - and who owns it?
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.
- 01 4:4 AND GIVE UNTO THE WOMEN FREE GIFT OF THEIR MARRIAGE PORTIONS; BUT IF THEY, OF THEIR OWN ACCORD, REMIT UNTO YOU A PART THEREOF, THEN YE ARE WELCOME TO ABSORB IT IN YOUR WEALTH. In because it settles the ownership question in one sentence: it is given TO HER as a free gift, and only SHE may return any of it, and only of her own accord.
- 02 4:20–21 And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them A SUM OF MONEY, HOWEVER GREAT, TAKE NOTHING OF IT. WOULD YE TAKE IT BY THE WAY OF CALUMNY AND OPEN WRONG? How can ye take it when one of you hath gone in unto the other, and they have taken a strong pledge from you? In as ONE PASSAGE because it forbids recovery at divorce however large the sum, and 4:21 gives two reasons - consummation, and a solemn pledge. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about a woman's right to own and to earn?, with a different reason there.
- 03 2:236–237 It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not touched them, nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them, the rich according to his means and the straitened according to his means... AND IF YE DIVORCE THEM BEFORE YE HAVE TOUCHED THEM AND YE HAVE APPOINTED UNTO THEM A PORTION, THEN PAY THE HALF OF THAT WHICH YE APPOINTED, unless they agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. In as ONE PASSAGE because it works out the position in a marriage that ends before consummation and gives a precise fraction.
- 04 4:24 And those of whom ye seek content by marrying them, GIVE UNTO THEM THEIR PORTIONS AS A DUTY. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement AFTER THE DUTY HATH BEEN DONE. In because it calls the portion a DUTY - an obligation, not a courtesy - and makes anything further conditional on its having been discharged. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about temporary marriage?, with a different reason there.
- 05 4:19 Nor to press them that ye may take away a part of that which ye have given them. In because it forbids the indirect route - pressure rather than demand. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about a woman's right to own and to earn? and two other studies, with different reasons there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Who owns it is settled by a single verse and then defended by three more.
4:4: GIVE UNTO THE WOMEN FREE GIFT OF THEIR MARRIAGE PORTIONS. The payment is made to HER. Not to her father, not to her family. And the second clause proves the ownership: BUT IF THEY, OF THEIR OWN ACCORD, REMIT UNTO YOU A PART THEREOF, then you may take it. Only the owner can waive a claim, and the verse says only she can, and only voluntarily.
4:24 calls it a DUTY - an obligation owed - rather than a gift in the ordinary sense, and makes anything else in the marriage conditional on its having been discharged.
Then three verses close the routes by which it might be recovered.
4:20 forbids taking it back on divorce, HOWEVER GREAT the sum, and calls the attempt CALUMNY AND OPEN WRONG. 4:21 gives two reasons: the marriage was consummated, and THEY HAVE TAKEN A STRONG PLEDGE FROM YOU. The marriage itself is described as a solemn covenant she holds.
4:19 forbids the indirect method - PRESSING her so that part comes back.
And 2:236-237 works out the hard case. If the marriage ends before consummation and a portion was fixed, HALF is due. If none was fixed, a provision is still owed, scaled to the man's means. Either party may forgo, and the verse adds that TO FORGO IS NEARER TO PIETY.
The Qur'an nowhere sets an amount. 4:20 says HOWEVER GREAT, which implies no ceiling. What it fixes is title, and it fixes it in her.
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 study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 4:4, widening across 5 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.

The translators word this verse differently
If you fear you cannot act fairly towards the orphans-then marry the women you like-two, or three, or four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then one, or what you already have. That makes it more likely that you avoid bias.
And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye will not do injustice
But if ye fear that ye cannot do justice between orphans, then marry what seems good to you of women, by twos, or threes, or fours; and if ye fear that ye cannot be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands possess. That keeps you nearer to not being partial
And if ye are apprehensive that ye shall not deal fairly with orphans, then, of other women who seem good in your eyes, marry but two, or three, or four; and if ye still fear that ye shall not act equitably, then one only; or the slaves whom ye have acquired: this will make justice on your part easier
And if ye fear that ye shall not act with equity towards orphans of the female sex, take in marriage of such other women as please you, two, or three, or four, and not more. But if ye fear that ye cannot act equitably towards so many, marry one only, or the slaves which ye shall have acquired. This will be easier, that ye swerve not from righteousness

And make trial of orphans until they reach the age of marriage; and if ye perceive in them a sound judgment, then hand over their substance to them; but consume ye it not wastefully, or by hastily entrusting it to them; Because they are growing up.

And when ye make over their substance to them, then take witnesses in their presence: God also maketh a sufficient account

4:20 Und wenn ihr eine Gattin anstelle einer anderen eintauschen wollt und ihr der einen von ihnen einen Qintar (viel Besitz/Geld als Brautgabe) gegeben habt, dann nehmt nichts davon (zurück). Wollt ihr es (denn) durch Verleumdung und deutliche Sünde (zurück)nehmen?

4:21 Και πώς μπορείτε να την πάρετε πίσω (την προίκα), ενώ έχετε έρθει σε στενή σχέση ο ένας με τον άλλο, και εκείνες (οι σύζυγοι) έχουν πάρει από σας μια δυνατή δέσμευση (συμβόλαιο);
4:20 और यदि तुम एक पत्नी के स्थान पर दूसरी पत्नी लाना चाहो और तुमने उनमें से किसी को (महर में) ढेर सारा धन दे रखा हो, तो उसमें से कुछ न लो। क्या तुम उसे अनाधिकार और खुला गुनाह होते हुए भी ले लोगे।

4:20 Если вы пожелаете замены одной супруги другой и даровали одной из них [даже] кынтар, то не берите из него ничего. Неужели вы станете брать это обратно, прибегая ко лжи и явно греша?

4:20 Ако хоћете једну супругу да замените другом, и једној од њих сте дали благо, не узимајте ништа од тога. Зар да то узимате чинећи потвору и очигледни грех?!

4:21 Na vipi mnaichukua ilhali mlikwishaingiliana nyinyi kwa nyinyi, nao (wanawake) walikwishachukua kutoka kwenu agano lililo madhubuti?
4:20 Om ni vill skilja er från en hustru och i hennes ställe ta en annan, ta då inte tillbaka något av det ni har gett den första, även om ni gett henne en förmögenhet. Skulle ni ta tillbaka det och därmed begå en skamlös lögn och en uppenbar synd?

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

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 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.

- 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.

2:236 Nuk është gjynah për ju nëse i lëshoni gratë para se të keni marrëdhënie me to ose para se t'ua caktoni mehrin[21]. Mirëpo, jepuni atyre diçka nga pasuria: i pasuri sipas mundësisë së tij dhe i varfri sipas mundësisë së vet; një dhuratë të arsyeshme. Kjo është detyrë për bamirësit.
2:237 E, nëse i lëshoni para se të keni marrëdhënie me to, por pasi t'ua keni caktuar mehrin, atëherë atyre u takon gjysma e mehrit të caktuar, përveç nëse ato heqin dorë ose heq dorë ai që në dorë ka lidhjen e martesës, porse të falni është më afër devotshmërisë. Mirëpo, mos e harroni bujarinë mes jush. Pa dyshim, Allahu sheh mirë gjithçka që bëni.
2:236 যদি তোমরা স্ত্রীদেরকে স্পর্শ না করে অথবা মাহর নির্ধারণ না করেই তালাক দাও, তবে তোমাদের কোনো অপরাধ নেই। কিন্তু তোমরা তাদেরকে ন্যায়ানুগ পন্থায় কিছু অর্থ-সামগ্রী দিবে। সচ্ছল ব্যক্তি দিবে তার স্বচ্ছলতা অনুযায়ী এবং অসচ্ছল ব্যক্তি দিবে তার সামর্থ্য অনুযায়ী। এটা মুহসিন সৎকর্মশীল লোকদের ওপর কর্তব্য।
2:237 আর তোমরা যদি তাদেরকে স্পর্শ করার আগে তালাক দাও; অথচ তাদের জন্য মাহর ধার্য করে থাকো, তাহলে যা তোমরা ধার্য করেছ তার অর্ধেক । তবে তারা যদি (অর্ধেক মাহর) না নিয়ে (স্বামীকে) ক্ষমা করে দেয় অথবা যার হাতে বিয়ের বন্ধন রয়েছে (৬৪) সে অনুগ্রহ করতে চায় (সেটা ভিন্ন কথা)। তবে মাফ করে দেয়াই তাকওয়ার নিকটতর। আর তোমরা নিজেদের মধ্যে অনুগ্রহের কথা ভুলে যেও না। তোমরা যা করো, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সে সম্পর্কে সম্যক দ্রষ্টা।
2:236 Nije vam grijeh ako žene pustite prije nego u intimni odnos s njima stupite ili prije nego što im vjenčani dar odredite. I na lijep i uobičajen način ih darujte, imućan prema svom stanju, a siromah prema svom; to je dužnost onima koji žele dobro činiti.
2:237 A ako ih pustite prije nego što ste u intimni odnos s njima stupili, a već ste im vjenčani dar odredili, one će zadržati polovinu onoga što ste odredili, osim ako se odreknu ili se odrekne onaj koji odlučuje o sklapanju braka; a ako se vi odreknete – to je bliže bogobojaznosti! I ne zaboravite da jedni prema drugima dobri budete! Allah, doista, dobro vidi šta vi radite.

2:236 თქვენზე (ო, კაცებო) ცოდვა არ არის, თუ განქორწინდებით თქვენს ცოლებთან (ქორწინების შეთანხმების დადების შემდეგ), სანამ მათთან სიახლოვე არ გქონიათ და სანამ მათთვის სავალდებულო საზღაური (მაჰრი — საქორწინო ძღვენი) არ დაგინიშნავთ. და მიეცით მათ ძღვენი (განქორწინების დროს, რათა შეამსუბუქოთ ტკივილი და წყენა): [შეძლებულზე] თავისი შესაძლებლობის მიხედვით, ხოლო ღარიბზე თავისი შესაძლებლობის მიხედვით ისე, როგორც მიღებულია შარიათით. ეს არის ის, რაც ეკადრება კეთილსმქმნელთ.
2:237 და თუ თქვენ განქორწინდებით მათთან (ცოლებთან) ქორწინების შეთანხმების შემდეგ, სანამ მათთან სიახლოვე გექნებათ, მაგრამ უკვე დაუდგენიათ მათთვის სავალდებულო მაჰრი (საქორწინო ძღვენი), მაშინ მათ ეკუთვნით იმ მაჰრის ნახევარი, რაც თქვენ დაადგინეთ. გარდა იმ შემთხვევისა, თუ ისინი (ქალები) აპატიებენ (და არ აიღებენ მათ კუთვნილ ნახევარს), ან აპატიებს ის (ქმარი), ვის ხელშიც არის საქორწინო კავშირი (და დაუტოვებს მთელ მაჰრს მას). და თუ თქვენ (კაცები) აპატიებთ (ანუ არ მოითხოვთ იმ ნახევარს, რომელზეც უფლება გაქვთ), ეს უფრო ახლოსაა ღვთისმოშიშობასთან. და ნუ დაივიწყებთ ერთმანეთის მიმართ გულუხვობას. უეჭველად, ალლაჰი ხედავს იმას, რასაც თქვენ აკეთებთ.
2:236 Es ist für euch kein Vergehen, wenn ihr euch von den Frauen scheidet, solange ihr sie noch nicht berührt oder euch ihnen gegenüber (zu einer Brautgabe) verpflichtet habt. Und gewährt ihnen eine Abfindung - der Wohlhabende entsprechend seinen Verhältnissen und der Geringbemittelte entsprechend seinen Verhältnissen -, eine Abfindung in rechtlicher Weise. (Dies ist) eine Pflicht für die Gutes Tuenden.
2:237 Und wenn ihr euch von ihnen scheidet, bevor ihr sie berührt und euch ihnen gegenüber schon (zu einer Brautgabe) verpflichtet habt, dann (steht ihnen) die Hälfte dessen (zu), wozu ihr euch verpflichtet habt, es sei denn, dass sie (es) erlassen oder der, in dessen Hand die Eheschließung ist. Doch wenn ihr (es) erlasst, kommt das der Furcht (vor Allah) näher. Und vergesst die (entgegenkommende) Großmut untereinander nicht. Wahrlich, Allah sieht, was ihr tut.
2:236 Δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σ’ εσάς (στο να μην δίνετε την προίκα) στις γυναίκες που τις χωρίζετε χωρίς να τις έχετε (ακόμα) αγγίξει (σεξουαλικά), ούτε έχετε (ακόμα) ορίσει γι’ αυτές μια (συγκεκριμένη) προίκα. Αλλά δώστε τους ένα χρηματικό ποσό, (ως αποζημίωση, για να αισθάνονται καλύτερα) - ο πλούσιος δίνει σύμφωνα με τη δυνατότητά του και ο φτωχός δίνει σύμφωνα με τη δυνατότητά του - ένα εύλογο ποσό σύμφωνα μ' αυτό που είναι αποδεκτό, ένα καθήκον σ’ αυτούς που πράττουν το καλό.
2:237 Αν όμως τις χωρίσετε προτού να τις αγγίξετε (σεξουαλικά), αλλά τους έχετε ορίσει μια (συγκεκριμένη) προίκα, τότε (δώστε τους) το μισό από αυτό που καθορίσατε για προίκα, εκτός και αν αποδεχτούν (οι γυναίκες) να αφήσουν (αυτό το μισό), ή αν αυτός (ο σύζυγος), στο χέρι του οποίου είναι ο δεσμός του γάμου, δεχτεί να δώσει (στη γυναίκα) την πλήρη προίκα. Και το να αφήσετε (ο ένας στον άλλον, κάποια από τα δικαιώματά σας) είναι πλησιέστερο στην ευσέβεια. Και μην ξεχνάτε τη γενναιοδωρία (την ανοχή και την ευγένεια) μεταξύ σας. Στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ βλέπει ό,τι κάνετε.
2:236 तुमपर कोई पाप नहीं, यदि तुम स्त्रियों को तलाक़ दे दो जबकि तुमने (अभी) उन्हें न हाथ लगाया हो और न उनके लिए कुछ महर निर्धारित किया हो। (लेकिन) उन्हें रीति के अनुसार कुछ सामान दे दो; विस्तार वाले पर अपनी क्षमता के अनुसार तथा तंगदस्त पर अपनी क्षमता के अनुसार देय है। सत्कर्म करने वालों पर यह हक़ है।
2:237 और यदि तुम उन्हें इससे पहले तलाक़ दे दो कि उन्हें हाथ लगाओ, जबकि तुम उनके लिए कोई महर निर्धारित कर चुके हो, तो तुमने जो महर निर्धारित किया है उसका आधा देना अनिवार्य है, सिवाय इसके कि वे (पत्नियाँ) माफ़ कर दें, अथवा वह पुरुष माफ़ कर दे जिसके हाथ में विवाह का बंधन[157] है। और यह (बात) कि तुम माफ़ कर दो तक़वा (परहेज़गारी) के अधिक क़रीब है। और आपस में उपकार करना न भूलो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह उसे ख़ूब देखने वाला है, जो तुम कर रहे हो।
2:236 Non c’è colpa per voi se divorzierete dalle donne che non avete toccato e a cui non avete ancora promesso la dote. Date loro – il ricco secondo le proprie possibilità e il povero secondo le proprie – un certo compenso, benevolmente: dovere per i pii.
2:237 E se divorzierete da loro prima di averle toccate, e avete concesso la dote, allora spetterà loro metà di quanto avete concordato, a meno che non ci rinuncino loro stesse o chi ha in mano l’atto dell’unione. E se perdonate, ciò è più vicino alla devozione. E non dimenticate il bene reciproco: In verità Allāh di ciò che fate è Osservatore.
2:236 236. Nėra nuodėmės jums, jei jūs išsiskiriate su moterimis, jų dar nepalietę (neturėję su jomis lytinių santykių), anei paskyrę joms jų Mahr (sutuoktinio nuotakai dovanotų pinigų). Tačiau duokite joms (tinkamą dovaną). Turtingasis pagal savo išgales, o neturtingas – pagal savo išgales. Dovana tinkamo kiekio yra pareiga gera darantiesiems.
2:237 237. Ir jei jūs išsiskiriate su jomis iki jas palietę (turėję lytinių santykių su jomis) ir paskyrę joms Mahr (kraičio), tada sumokėkite pusę to (Mahr), nebent jos (moterys) sutinka to atsisakyti arba jis (sutuoktinis), kurio rankose yra santuokos saitai, sutinka atsisakyti (ir duoti jai pilnai paskirtą Mahr). Tiek (Mahr gavimo) atsisakymas, tiek (pilno Mahr) davimas yra arčiau At-Takva (dievobaimingumo, tiesingumo). Ir nepamirškite būti dosnūs vienas kitam. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Matantis tai, ką jūs darote.

2:236 Нет греха на вас, если вы разведётесь с женщинами, пока не коснулись их или пока не установили им предписанный [брачный дар][19]. И одарите их дарами: состоятельный — по своей мере, а бедный — по своей мере, одаряя согласно одобряемому, — как обязанность для добродетельных.
2:237 А если вы разведётесь с ними до того, как прикоснётесь к ним, но уже установили для них предписанный [брачный дар], то [им] — половина того, что вы установили, кроме случая, когда они простят или простит тот, в чьих руках узы брака. Если вы простите, то это ближе к богобоязненности, и не забывайте о великодушии между вами. Воистину, Аллах видит то, что вы совершаете.
2:236 Није вам грех ако жене пустите пре него што у интимни однос с њима ступите, или пре него што им венчани дар одредите. И лепо их и по пропису дарујте, имућан према свом стању, а сиромашан према свом; то је дужност онима који желе добро да чине.
2:237 А ако их пустите пре него што сте у однос с њима ступили, а већ сте им венчани дар одредили, оне ће задржати половину онога што сте одредили, осим ако се одрекну или се одрекне онај који одлучује о склапању брака; а ако се ви одрекнете - то је ближе богобојазности! И не заборавите да једни према другима добри будете! Аллах, заиста, добро види шта ви радите.
2:236 Hakuna ubaya wowote juu yenu mkiwataliki wanawake ambao hamjawagusa au kuwabainishia mahari yao. Lakini wapeni cha kuwaliwaza, mwenye wasaa kwa kiwango awezacho na mwenye dhiki kwa kiwango awezacho, maliwazo kwa wema, ni haki juu ya watendao mema.
2:237 Na mkiwataliki kabla ya kuwagusa, na tayari mmeshawakatia mahari mahususi, basi wapeni nusu ya mahari mliyowakatia. Isipokuwa ikiwa wanawake wenyewe watasamehe, au amesamehe yule ambaye fundo la ndoa liko mkononi mwake. Na mkisamehe ndiyo kuwa karibu zaidi na ucha Mungu. Wala msisahau fadhila zilizo baina yenu. Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu anayaona vyema mnayoyatenda.
2:236 Ni ska inte klandras om ni skiljer er från era kvinnor innan ni har haft samlag med dem eller fastställt någon brudgåva. Men ge dem en gåva – den välbärgade efter sin förmåga och den fattige efter sin förmåga. Detta är en skyldighet för de som vill handla rätt.
2:237 Och om ni skiljer er innan ni har haft samlag med dem, men efter att ni har fastställt en brudgåva, ska ni ge dem hälften av det ni har fastställt, om inte kvinnorna avstår eller den som har äktenskapskontraktet i sin hand avstår. Att visa överseende ligger närmare gudsfruktan. Och glöm inte den välvilja som ska råda er emellan. Gud har fullständig insikt om allt ni gör.
2:236 Kadınlara temas edip, dokunmadan ve mehirlerini biçmeden, onları boşarsanız sizin üzerinize bir günah yoktur. Zengin olanlar kendi halince, fakir olanlar da yine kendi halince uygun bir şekilde onları (bir şeyler vererek) faydalandırın. Bu, iyilik sahiplerinin üzerine bir yükümlülüktür.
2:237 Eğer onlara mehir biçer de, temas etmeden onları boşarsanız mehrin yarısı onların hakkıdır. Ancak kadınlar bundan vazgeçer ya da nikâh bağı elinde bulunan erkek, mehrin yarısını ve daha fazlasını bağışlarsa o başka. Mehrin hepsini bağışlamanız takvaya daha uygundur. Aranızdaki iyiliği unutmayın. Allah, şüphesiz yaptıklarınızı hakkıyla görendir.
2:236 اگر تم عورتوں کو بغیر ہاتھ لگائے اور بغیر مہر مقرر کئے طلاق دے دو تو بھی تم پر کوئی گناه نہیں، ہاں انہیں کچھ نہ کچھ فائده دو۔ خوشحال اپنے انداز سے اور تنگدست اپنی طاقت کے مطابق دستور کے مطابق اچھا فائده دے۔ بھلائی کرنے والوں پر یہ ﻻزم ہے۔[1]
2:237 اور اگر تم عورتوں کو اس سے پہلے طلاق دے دو کہ تم نے انہیں ہاتھ لگایا ہو اور تم نے ان کا مہر بھی مقرر کردیا ہو تو مقرره مہر کا آدھا مہر دے دو، یہ اور بات ہے کہ وه خود معاف کردیں[1] یا وه شخص معاف کردے جس کے ہاتھ میں نکاح کی گره ہے[2] تمہارا معاف کردینا تقویٰ سے بہت نزدیک ہے اور آپس کی فضیلت اور بزرگی کو فراموش نہ کرو، یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ تمہارے اعمال کو دیکھ رہا ہے۔

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

You commit no error by announcing your engagement to women, or by keeping it to yourselves. God knows that you will be thinking about them. But do not meet them secretly, unless you have something proper to say. And do not confirm the marriage tie until the writing is fulfilled. And know that God knows what is in your souls, so beware of Him. And know that God is Forgiving and Forbearing.
There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving, Clement
Nor is there any crime in you for that ye make them an offer of marriage, or that ye keep it secret, in your minds. God knows that ye will remember them; but do not propose to them in secret, unless ye speak a reasonable speech; and resolve not on marriage tie until the Book shall reach its time; but know that God knows what is in your souls; so beware! and know that God is forgiving and clement
And then shall no blame attach to you in making proposals of marriage to such women, or in keeping such intention to yourselves? God knoweth that ye will not forget them. But promise them not in secret, unless ye speak honourable words; And resolve not on the marriage tie until the prescribed time be reached; and know that God knoweth what is in your minds: therefore, beware of Him; and know that God is Gracious, Mild
And it shall be no crime in you, whether ye make public overtures of marriage unto such women, within the said four months and ten days, or whether ye conceal such your designs in your minds: God knoweth that ye will remember them. But make no promise unto them privately, unless ye speak honourable words; and resolve not on the knot of marriage, until the prescribed time be accomplished; and know that God knoweth that which is in your minds, therefore beware of him, and know that God is gracious and merciful

The translators word this verse differently
And all married women, except those you rightfully possess. This is God's decree, binding upon you. Permitted for you are those that lie outside these limits, provided you seek them in legal marriage, with gifts from your property, seeking wedlock, not prostitution. If you wish to enjoy them, then give them their dowry-a legal obligation. You commit no error by agreeing to any change to the dowry. God is All-Knowing, Most Wise.

And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise
and married women, save such as your right hands possess,- God's Book against you! - but lawful for you is all besides this, for you to seek them with your wealth, marrying them and not fornicating; but such of them as ye have enjoyed, give them their hire as a lawful due; for there is no crime in you about what ye agree between you after such lawful due, verily, God is knowing and wise
Forbidden to you also are married women, except those who are in your hands as slaves: This is the law of God for you. And it is allowed you, beside this, to seek out wives by means of your wealth, with modest conduct, and without fornication. And give those with whom ye have cohabited their dowry. This is the law. But it shall be no crime in you to make agreements over and above the law. Verily, God is Knowing, Wise
Ye are also forbidden to take to wife free women who are married, except those women whom your right hands shall possess as slaves. This is ordained you from God. Whatever is beside this, is allowed you; that ye may with your substance provide wives for your selves, acting that which is right, and avoiding whoredom. And for the advantage which ye receive from them, give them their reward, according to what is ordained: But it shall be no crime in you to make any other agreement among your selves, after the ordinance shall be complied with; for God is knowing and wise

- 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.

(Të ndaluara për ju janë) edhe gratë që gjenden nën kurorë, përveç atyre (robëreshave) që i keni në pronësinë tuaj. Ky është urdhri i Allahut për ju. Ndërkohë, ju janë lejuar të tjerat që t'i merrni duke ua dhënë një pjesë të pasurisë suaj me qëllim martese e jo kurvërie. Atyre me të cilat keni marrëdhënie intime, japuani mehrin e vet në mënyrë të detyrueshme, por nuk keni gjynah nëse bëni marrëveshje (për shtimin a pakësimin e mehrit) pas përcaktimit të tij. Sigurisht, Allahu është i Gjithëdijshëm dhe i Urtë.
তাছাড়া নারীদের মধ্য থেকে অন্যের বিবাহিত সব নারীদেরকে তোমাদের জন্যে হারাম করা হয়েছে। তবে (আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদ করতে গিয়ে বন্দী করার মাধ্যমে) তোমরা যাদের মালিক হয়েছো সেসব দাসীগণ ব্যতীত। এটি তোমাদের ওপর আল্লাহর বিধান। উল্লিখিত নারীগণ ছাড়া অন্য সকল নারীকে নিজেদের অর্থ-সম্পদের (মোহরানার) বিনিময়ে বিয়ে করা তোমাদের জন্য হালাল করা হয়েছে, পবিত্র থাকার উদ্দেশ্যে (বিবাহ বহির্ভূত) অবৈধ যৌনাচারে লিপ্ত হয়ে নয়। সুতরাং তাদের মধ্যে তোমরা যাদের যৌন স্বাদ আস্বাদন করেছো, তাদেরকে তাদের নির্ধারিত মোহরানা দিয়ে দাও। আর মোহরানা নির্ধারণের পর তোমরা যদি কোন বিষয়ে (নির্ধারিত মোহরানার পরিমাণে কম-বেশি করতে) পরস্পর সম্মত হও, তাতে তোমাদের কোন দোষ নেই। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ মহাজ্ঞানী, প্রজ্ঞাময়।
I zabranjuju vam se udate žene, osim onih koje su u vlasništvu vašem. To vam je propis Allahov! A ostalo vam je dozvoljeno da želite, svojom imovinom da se njima oženite, a ne da blud činite! A suprugama vašim s kojima imate bračne odnose dajte vjenčane darove kao što je propisano. I nije vam grijeh ako se, poslije određenog vjenčanog dara, s njima nagodite. Allah je, doista, Onaj Koji sve zna i mudar je.

და (ასევე აკრძალულია თქვენთვის) დაქორწინებული ქალები — გარდა იმისა, რაც თქვენმა მარჯვენამ მოიპოვა [თუ ისინი გახდნენ თქვენი მხევლები]. (ეს ყველაფერი) ალლაჰის დადგენილებით თქვენთვის. და ნებადართულია თქვენთვის ის, რაც ამის მიღმაა [დანარჩენი ქალები], თუ თქვენ ეძიებთ მათ თქვენს ქონებით, სიწმინდის დაცვით და არა გარყვნილებით [მრუშობით]. და იმისთვის, რითაც ისარგებლებთ მათგან [დაშვებული ცოლქმრული ურთიერთობისთვის], მიეცით მათ მათი საზღაური [საქორწინო ძღვენი] სავალდებულო დადგენილების მიხედვით. და არ არის თქვენზე ცოდვა იმაში, რაზეც თქვენ (ქმარი და ცოლი) შეთანხმდებით ერთმანეთში დადგენის შემდეგ (საქორწინო ძღვენის ოდენობისა). ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ყოვლისმცოდნე, ბრძენია.
Und (ebenfalls verboten sind euch) von den Frauen die verheirateten, außer denjenigen, die eure rechte Hand besitzt. (Dies gilt) als Allahs Vorschrift für euch. Und erlaubt ist euch, was darüber hinausgeht, (nämlich) dass ihr mit eurem Besitz (Frauen) begehrt zur Ehe und nicht (prostituierte Frauen) zur Unzucht. Welche von ihnen ihr dann genossen habt, denen gebt ihren Lohn (wie es euch) eine Pflicht ist. Es liegt aber keine Sünde für euch darin, wenn ihr euch, nachdem die Verpflichtung (festgelegt) ist, (darüberhinausgehend) einig werdet. Wahrlich, Allah ist allwissend und allweise.
Επίσης (απαγορεύεται να παντρευτείτε) τις παντρεμένες γυναίκες, εκτός απ' εκείνες που κατέχουν τα δεξιά σας χέρια (τις αιχμάλωτες στον τόπο μάχης κατά τη διάρκεια του πολέμου). Αυτά σας διατάζει ο Αλλάχ. Επιτρέπεται, όμως, για σας (να παντρευτείτε) οποιαδήποτε άλλη εκτός εκείνων (των προαναφερόμενων γυναικών), εφόσον ο σκοπός σας είναι να (τις) παντρευτείτε δίνοντας από τα πλούτη σας την προίκα, και όχι να διαπράξετε μοιχεία. Και όποιες παντρευτείτε απ' αυτές και έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί τους (μετά από το γάμου), είναι υποχρεωτικό να τους δώσετε την προίκα τους. Δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σ' εσάς για όσα συμφωνείτε (είτε να προσαυξάνετε είτε να μειώνετε την προίκα) μετά τον καθορισμό της οφειλόμενης προίκας. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι ‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης) και Χακείμ (Πάνσοφος).
तथा उन स्त्रियों से (विवाह करना हराम है), जो दूसरों के निकाह़ में हों, सिवाय तुम्हारी दासियों[21] के। यह अल्लाह ने तुम्हारे लिए अनिवार्य कर दिया[22] है। और इनके सिवा दूसरी स्त्रियाँ तुम्हारे लिए ह़लाल कर दी गई हैं कि तुम अपना धन (महर) खर्च करके उनसे विवाह कर लो (बशर्ते कि तुम्हारा उद्देश्य) सतीत्व की रक्षा हो, अवैध तरीके से काम वासना की तृप्ति न हो। फिर उन औरतों में से जिनसे तुम लाभ उठाओ, उन्हें उनका महर अवश्य चुका दो। तथा यदि महर निर्धारित करने के बाद आपसी सहमति (से कोई कमी-बेशी) कर लो, तो तुमपर कोई गुनाह नहीं है। निःसंदेह अल्लाह सब कुछ जानने वाला, पूर्ण हिकमत वाला है।
E le donne sposate, tranne nel caso appartengano già a voi. È un ordine di Allāh. E vi sono permesse tutte al di fuori di queste, se le ottenete con i vostri beni, legalmente, e non per una via peccaminosa. Per il godimento che ne avrete, corrispondete loro giuste doti, come è dovuto, e non c’è peccato in ciò che voi concorderete insieme, come è dovuto, e Allāh è in verità Sapiente, Saggio.
24. Taip pat (draudžiamos) jau ištekėjusios moterys, išskyrus tos (vergės), kurias jūsų dešinės rankos valdo. Taip jums įsakė Allahas. Visos kitos yra leidžiamos, jei jūs siekiate (jų santuokai) su Mahr (sutuoktinio, santuokos sudarymo metu, nuotakai dovanojamais pinigais) iš savo nuosavybės, trokšdami skaistumo, neužsiimdami neteisėtais lytiniais santykiais. Taigi, su kuriomis iš jų mėgavotės lytiniais santykiais, duokite joms jų Mahr kaip paskirta. Tačiau jei po to, kai Mahr yra paskirtas, jūs abu sutariate (duoti daugiau), nėra jums nuodėmės. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Visada Visa Žinantis, Visa Išmanantis.

И [запретны вам] замужние из женщин, кроме тех, кем овладели ваши десницы. Это — предписание Аллаха для вас. И дозволены вам [женщины], кроме упомянутых, если вы их пожелаете, расходуя из своего имущества, стремясь к целомудрию, а не к распутству. А за то, чем вы наслаждаетесь с ними [заключив с ними брак], давайте им их установленный брачный дар, как обязательное предписание. И нет на вас греха в том, о чём вы договоритесь между собой помимо установленного. Воистину, Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] знающим, мудрым.
И забрањују вам се удате жене, осим оне које су у вашем власништву. То вам је Аллахов пропис! А остале су вам дозвољене, ако желите да им венчане дарове дате и да се њима ожените, а не да чините блуд! А супругама вашим са којима имате брачне односе дајте венчане дарове као што је прописано. И није вам грех ако се, после одређеног венчаног дара, са њима нагодите. Аллах, заиста, све зна и мудар је.
Na wanawake wenye waume, isipokuwa waliomilikiwa na mikono yenu ya kulia. Ndiyo sheria ya Mwenyezi Mungu juu yenu. Na mmehalalishiwa wasiokuwa hao, mtafute kwa mali zenu kwa kuoa pasi na kuzini. Kama mnavyostarehe nao, basi wapeni mahari yao kwa kuwa ni wajibu. Wala hakuna ubaya juu yenu kwa mtakachokubaliana baada ya kutimiza wajibu. Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kujua, Mwenye hekima.
[Ni får inte heller ingå äktenskap med] gifta kvinnor, utom de som ni rättmätigt förfogar över. Detta är Guds föreskrift för er. Utöver detta är det tillåtet för er att med era tillgångar söka kvinnor för äktenskap, med avsikt att leva kyskt och inte i utsvävande relationer. Om ni haft äktenskaplig samlevnad med dem, ge dem då deras föreskrivna brudgåva. Det är ingen synd om ni, efter att ha fullgjort det som är föreskrivet, kommer överens om något annat. Gud är allvetande, vis.
Maliki bulunduğunuz cariyeler müstesna, evli kadınlarla evlenmeniz de haram kılındı. Bunlar, Allah'ın üzerinize farz kıldığı hükümlerdir. Bunların dışında kalanlar ise, iffetli yaşamak ve zina etmemek şartıyla mallarınızla (mehirlerini verip) istemeniz size helâl kılındı. Onlardan (nikâhlanıp) faydalanmanıza karşılık sabit bir hak olarak kendilerine mehirlerini verin. Mehir belirlendikten sonra, onunla ilgili olarak uzlaştığınız şeyler konusunda size günah yoktur. Şüphesiz ki Allah, (her şeyi) hakkıyla bilendir, hüküm ve hikmet sahibidir.
اور (حرام کی گئیں) شوہر والی عورتیں مگر وه جو تمہاری ملکیت میں آجائیں[1] ، اللہ تعالیٰ نے یہ احکام تم پر فرض کر دیئے ہیں، اور ان عورتوں کے سوا اور عورتیں تمہارے لئے حلال کی گئیں کہ اپنے مال کے مہر سے تم ان سے نکاح کرنا چاہو برے کام سے بچنے کے لئے نہ کہ شہوت رانی کرنے کے لئے[2]، اس لئے جن سے تم فائده اٹھاؤ انہیں ان کا مقرر کیا ہوا مہر دے دو[3]، اور مہر مقرر ہو جانے کے بعد تم آپس کی رضامندی سے جو طے کرلو اس میں تم پر کوئی گناه نہیں[4]، بے شک اللہ تعالیٰ علم واﻻ حکمت واﻻ ہے۔

The translators word this verse differently
If any of you lack the means to marry free believing women, he may marry one of the believing maids under your control. God is well aware of your faith. You are from one another. Marry them with the permission of their guardians, and give them their recompense fairly-to be protected-neither committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. When they are married, if they commit adultery, their punishment shall be half that of free women. That is for those among you who fear falling into decadence. But to practice self-restraint is better for you. God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
But whosoever of you cannot go the length of marrying marriageable women who believe, then take of what your right hands possess, of your maidens who believe;- though God knows best about your faith. Ye come one from the other; then marry them with the permission of their people, and give them their hire in reason, they being chaste and not fornicating, and not receivers of paramours. But when they are married, if they commit fornication, then inflict upon them half the penalty for married women; that is for whomsoever of you fears wrong; but that ye should have patience is better for you, and God is forgiving and merciful
And whoever of you is not rich enough to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of your believing maidens as have fallen into your hands as slaves; God well knoweth your faith. Ye are sprung the one from the other. Marry them, then, with the leave of their masters, and give them a fair dower: but let them be chaste and free from fornication, and not entertainers of lovers
Whoso among you hath not means sufficient that he may marry free women, who are believers, let him marry with such of your maid-servants whom your right hands possess, as are true believers; for God well knoweth your faith. Ye are the one from the other: Therefore marry them with the consent of their masters; and give them their dower according to justice; such as are modest, not guilty of whoredom, nor entertaining lovers. And when they are married, if they be guilty of adultery, they shall suffer half the punishment which is appointed for the free women. This is allowed unto him among you, who feareth to sin by marrying free women; but if ye abstain from marrying slaves, it will be better for you; God is gracious and merciful

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

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - give + unto + the + women + free + gift + of + their + marriage + portions; if + they + of + their + own + accord + remit; ye + have + given + unto + one + of + them + a + sum + of + money + take + nothing + of + it; give + unto + them + their + portions + as + a + duty. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
