Waiting Period after Divorce

Divorced women must wait three menstrual cycles before remarrying. Their husbands have the right to take them back during this period if they seek reconciliation. Women have rights similar to their obligations, in fairness. But men have a degree of responsibility over them.

2:228Women who are divorced shall wait, keeping themselves apart, three (monthly) courses. And it is not lawful for them that they should conceal that which Allah hath created in their wombs if they are believers in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would do better to take them back in that case if they desire a reconciliation. And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness, and men are a degree above them. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
