Divorce Three Times

Divorce may be pronounced twice, after which the husband must either retain his wife with fairness or release her with kindness. It is not lawful for him to take back anything he has given her, unless both fear that they will not uphold Allah’s limits. If you fear they cannot maintain those limits, then there is no blame if she offers compensation to secure her release. These are the boundaries set by Allah, do not overstep them. Whoever transgresses Allah’s limits is among the wrongdoers."

2:229Divorce must be pronounced twice and then (a woman) must be retained in honour or released in kindness. And it is not lawful for you that ye take from women aught of that which ye have given them; except (in the case) when both fear that they may not be able to keep within the limits (imposed by) Allah. And if ye fear that they may not be able to keep the limits of Allah, in that case it is no sin for either of them if the woman ransom herself. These are the limits (imposed by) Allah. Transgress them not. For whoso transgresseth Allah's limits: such are wrong-doers.
