And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allāh] and was evil as a way.

முன்னால் நடந்து போனதைத் தவிர, (இனிமேல்) நீங்கள் உங்களுடைய தந்தையர் மணமுடித்துக் கொண்ட பெண்களிலிருந்து எவரையும் விவாகம் செய்து கொள்ளாதீர்கள் - நிச்சயமாக இது மானக்கேடானதும், வெறுக்கக்கூடியதும், தீமையான வழியுமாகும்.

නුඹලාගේ පියවරුන් විවාහ කර ගත් කාන්තාවන් නුඹලා විවාහ නො කරනු. එහෙත් පෙර පැවති සිදුවීම් හැර. නියත වශයෙන් ම එය අශීලාචාර හා පිළිකුල් සහගත ක්‍රියාවක් විය. තවද ක්‍රියා මාර්ගයෙන් එය ඉතා නපුරු ය.

你们不要娶你们的父亲娶过的妇女,但已往的不受惩罚。这确是一件丑事,确是一件可恨的行为,这种习俗真恶劣!

Tafsir of 4:22

You are not permitted to inherit women against their will,) "Before, the practice was that when a man dies, his male relatives used to have the right to do whatever they wanted with his wife. If one of them wants, he would marry her, give her in marriage, or prevent her from marriage, for they had more right to her than her own family. Thereafter, this Ayah was revealed about this practice, يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَن تَرِثُواْ النِّسَآءَ كَرْهاً (O you who believe! You are not permitted to inherit women against their will)." Women Should not Be Treated with Harshness Allah said, وَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذْهَبُواْ بِبَعْضِ مَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ (nor to prevent them from marriage, in order to take part of what you have given them,) Allah commands: Do not treat the woman harshly so that she gives back all or part of the dowry that she was given, or forfeits one of her rights by means of coercion and oppression.…
