Will of woman to Re-marry (L-302)
|
وَإِذا طَلَّقتُمُ النِّساءَ فَبَلَغنَ
أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلا تَعضُلوهُنَّ أَن يَنكِحنَ أَزواجَهُنَّ إِذا تَراضَوا
بَينَهُم بِالمَعروفِ ۗ ذٰلِكَ يوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كانَ مِنكُم يُؤمِنُ بِاللَّهِ
وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ ۗ ذٰلِكُم أَزكىٰ لَكُم وَأَطهَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ وَأَنتُم
لا تَعلَمونَ232. |

wa ‘antum laa ta’-lamuun. |

232. When you divorce women, and they have reached their
term, do not prevent them from marrying their husbands, provided they agree
on fair terms. Thereby is advised whoever among you believes in God and the
Last Day. That is better and more decent for you. God knows, and you do not
know. |
Fabalagna ‘ajalahunna – (when they reach their term), translation of fabalagna is ‘when they reach’ that is to say; they complete. Meaning of ‘ajalahunna is ‘their term’, specific period, according to Divine Law of Religion which is called ‘iddat.
‘izaa tallaqtum – (when you have divorced), here it has been addressed state forward to the husbands, but this speech is for the entire nation.
‘azwaajahunna – (their husbands), it means “their such husbands to whom the women like after divorce from first husband”, either they wish to wed any other man or the previous husband who have divorced them once.
Taraazaw – (when) it is agreed (between them). It reveals from this word that ‘affirmation’ and ‘approval/reception’ both are pillars of marriage. It is a separate thing that if, instead of husband and wife, their guardians or agents (father or any other patron from any side) do ‘affirmation’ and ‘approval/reception’, and they (husband and wife) admit it. Otherwise, if they don’t agree then there is no marriage.
Reason for revelation of this verse is that a woman was divorced by her husband once or twice and he didn’t incline during the period of term (‘iddat). When the period of ‘iddat expired, then along with other persons, he also sent message for marriage. The woman was agreeing but her brother was in a rage and he stopped her sister’s marriage with her first husband. So, then it was revealed in Holy Qur’an that; pleasure and betterment of the woman should be kept in front; the marriage should be done with her consent. One’s thought and displeasure shouldn’t interfere. However, if there is something wrong according to rules, for example; if she wants to wed any other person during her first husband’s term, then surely he has right to stop this marriage.
