Verse meaning
This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.
Divorced women should wait for three menstrual cycles[1]. It is not permissible for them to hide what Allah has created in their wombs[2] if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. Their husbands have the greater right to take them back within that period[3] if they want reconciliation. Women have rights similar to the rights over them in a reasonable manner, although men have a higher degree [of responsibility] over them. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
