Those who commit unlawful sexual intercourse of your women - bring against
them four [witnesses] from among you. And if they testify, confine the
guilty women to houses until death takes them or Allah ordains for them
[another] way.
And the two who commit it among you, dishonor them both. But if they
repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is ever
Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
The repentance accepted by Allah is only for those who do wrong in
ignorance [or carelessness] and then repent soon after. It is those to
whom Allah will turn in forgiveness, and Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds
up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have
repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them
We have prepared a painful punishment.
O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by
compulsion. And do not make difficulties for them in order to take [back]
part of what you gave them unless they commit a clear immorality. And live
with them in kindness. For if you dislike them - perhaps you dislike a
thing and Allah makes therein much good.
But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of
them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would
you take it in injustice and manifest sin?
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has
already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah ] and
was evil as a way.
