236. There is no blame on you if ye divorce women before consummation or the fixation
of their dower; but bestow on them (A suitable gift), the wealthy according to his means,
and the poor according to his means;--A gift of a reasonable amount is due from those
who wish to do the right thing.

237. And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the fixation of a dower for
them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless they remit it or (the man's half)
is remitted by him in whose hands is the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's
half) is the nearest to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For
Allah sees well all that ye do.
