Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Baqara : 236
لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوْا لَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً١ۖۚ وَّ مَتِّعُوْهُنَّ١ۚ عَلَى الْمُوْسِعِ قَدَرُهٗ وَ عَلَى الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهٗ١ۚ مَتَاعًۢا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ١ۚ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ
It is no sin if you divorce your wives while you have not yet touched them or fixed any dower for them. In such a case, pay them something anyhow. 260 A rich man should pay fairly according to his means and a poor man according to his resources, for this is an obligation on the righteous people.
260. This sundering of the matrimonial contract after it has been concluded does cause some harm to the woman; God has ordered, therefore, that the person concerned should compensate for the loss according to his capacity.
