(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نَكَحْتُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ فَمَا لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ عِدَّةٍ تَعْتَدُّونَهَا فَمَتِّعُوهُنَّ وَسَرِّحُوهُنَّ سَرَاحًا جَمِيلًا 49  

                                       

49.  O ye who believe! If ye wed believing women and divorce them before ye have touched them, then there is no period that ye should reckon. But content them and release them handsomely.

49.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhallaziina  ‘aamanuuu  ‘izaa  nakah-tumul-Mu’-minaati  summa  tallaqtu-muuhunna  min  qabli  ‘an  tamassuu-hunna  famaa  lakum  ‘alayhinna  min  ‘iddatin  ta’-tadduuna-haa.  Famatti-‘uuhunna  wa  sarrihuu-hunna  saraahan  jamiilaa.

Commentary

                                                               

In the course of describing concerning the wives (May Allaah be pleased with them) of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him), common Muslim women have been instructed, and wedding with the divorced wife of the adopted son has been made lawful. In this regard, one more common instruction has been given.

It has been commanded in this verse: If a man weds a woman and after marriage he divorces his wife without touching her due to any reason, then in this form, neither there is any waiting period for the divorced woman and nor the man is liable to pay her full dowry.

It is commanded: The people who have believed, they should listen that when any man of them married a Muslim woman, then both - husband and wife did not yet meet with each other in privacy and such cause happened that he had to divorce his wife before touching, then it would not be incumbent on the man that he should cause to complete the waiting period from the divorced woman. She can marry any other man as soon as her husband divorced her. If the dowry was fixed then the man who divorced, would have to pay half of the dowry, as it was explained in Suratul-Baqarah (Chapter -2).

But if the dowry was not determined, then he would have to pay nothing. However, he should release her with good manner by giving her something, for example a set of clothes etc. according to his status for satisfying her. This is a general order for the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) in which entire Muslims are included.
