O you who have believed, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them [i.e., consummated the marriage], then there is not for you any waiting period to count concerning them. So provide for them and give them a gracious release.

ஈமான் கொண்டவர்களே! முஃமினான பெண்களை நீங்கள் மணந்து, பிறகு நீங்கள் அவர்களை தொடுவதற்கு முன்னமேயே 'தலாக்' செய்து விட்டீர்களானால், அவர்கள் விஷயத்தில் நீங்கள் கணக்கிடக் கூடிய (இத்தத்)தவணை ஒன்றும் உங்களுக்கு இல்லை - ஆகவே அவர்களுக்குத் (தக்கதாக) ஏதேனும் கொடுத்து அழகான முறையில் அவர்களை விடுவித்து விடுங்கள்.

අහෝ දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කළවුනි! නුඹලා දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කරන කාන්තාවන් විවාහ කොට පසුව නුඹලා ඔවුන් ස්පර්ශ කිරීමට පෙර නුඹලා ඔවුන් දික්කසාද කළහොත් නුඹලා ගණන් කරන පොරොත්තු කාලයක් නුඹලා වෙනුවෙන් ඔවුන් කෙරෙහි අනිවාර්යය නො වන්නේ ය. එවිට ඔවුනට ජීවන සම්පත් ලබා දෙනු. තවද අලංකාර මුදවාලීමකින් ඔවුන් මුදවා හරිනු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اے مومنو! جب تم مومن عورتوں سے نکاح کرو پھر ہاتھ لگانے سے پہلے (ہی) طلاق دے دو تو ان پر تمہارا کوئی حق عدت کا نہیں جسے تم شمار کرو ، پس تم کچھ نہ کچھ انہیں دے دو اور بھلے طریق پر انہیں رخصت کر دو.

信仰する者たちよ,あなたがたは信者の婦人と結婚し,かの女に触れないうちに離婚する場合は,かの女らに就いて定めの期限を計算しなくてもよい。かの女らに贈与をなし,面目を立ててきれいに離別しなさい。

信道的人们啊!你们若娶信道的妇女,然后在交接前休了她们,那末,她们不该为你们而守限期,所以你们应当使她享受,应当让她们依礼而离去。
