surah Baqarah aya 231 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ ۚ وَلَا تُمْسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارًا لِّتَعْتَدُوا ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ ۚ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا آيَاتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَا أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ وَالْحِكْمَةِ يَعِظُكُم بِهِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴾
[ البقرة: 231]
2:231 And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or release them according to acceptable terms, and do not keep them, intending harm, to transgress [against them]. And whoever does that has certainly wronged himself. And do not take the verses of Allah in jest. And remember the favor of Allah upon you and what has been revealed to you of the Book and wisdom by which He instructs you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Knowing of all things.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishWhen you divorce women and they approach the end of their waiting period, you have the right to take them back or to leave them in a good way until their waiting period is over.
Do not take them back in order to oppress and harm them, as was the practice in the period before Islam.
Whoever acts with the aim of causing harm to them has wronged himself by exposing himself to sin and punishment.
Do not make Allah’s words the object of mockery and play.
Remember Allah’s favours on you: most importantly, the revelation you have received in the form of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, through which He reminds you to encourage and warn you.
Fear Allah by fulfilling His instructions and avoiding His prohibitions.
Know that Allah knows everything and that nothing is hidden from Him.
He will reward you for your actions.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And when you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term of their prescribed period, either take them back on reasonable basis or set them free on reasonable basis. But do not take them back to hurt them, and whoever does that, then he has wronged himself. And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allah as a jest, but remember Allah's Favours on you (i.e. Islam), and that which He has sent down to you of the Book (i.e. the Quran) and Al-Hikmah (the Prophet's Sunnah - legal ways - Islamic jurisprudence, etc.) whereby He instructs you. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is All-Aware of everything.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their ('Iddat), either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them, (or) to take undue advantage; if any one does that; He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat Allah's Signs as a jest, but solemnly rehearse Allah's favours on you, and the fact that He sent down to you the Book and Wisdom, for your instruction. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.

2:231 And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, translate in arabic
وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو سرحوهن بمعروف ولا تمسكوهن ضرارا لتعتدوا ومن يفعل ذلك فقد ظلم نفسه ولا تتخذوا آيات الله هزوا واذكروا نعمة الله عليكم وما أنـزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله بكل شيء عليم
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 231 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 37 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled their determined period of waiting for three months and both of you are willing to reconcile, then you either reclaim them in equity and honour or free them in equity and honour. Do not reclaim them for a selfish end or spite them and he who acts in this manner will wrong himself. And do not mock Allah’s revelations and statutes, and render solemn acknowledgement of Allah’s divine favour conferred upon you and revere the Book He sent down to you and the knowledge and wisdom He imparted to you to caution you to commendable conduct, and revere Allah, and realise that Allah is Alimun of all
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:231) And when you have divorced your wives and they are about to complete their prescribed term, then either retain them gracefully or release them generously. It is transgression to retain them merely for harassment; and whoever' does that indeed wrongs his own self. *254 Do not play with Allah's Commandments, and remember that Allah has blessed you with a great favour. He admonishes you to show due respect to the Book and the Wisdom He has sent to you. *255 Fear Allah and know that He is fully aware of everything.
And when you divorce women and they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, meaning
*254). It is absolutely improper that a person should revoke the divorce he pronounced on his wife before the lapse of the period of waiting merely in order to use this revocation as a pretext to harass and torment her . God commands that if a person revokes the divorce this decision should be prompted by a sincere desire to live together amicably. Should that intention be lacking, it is better to part company in a graceful manner (see further n. 250 above).
*255). Muslims should not forget that by teaching them the Book and Wisdom, God entrusted them with the glorious task of guiding the world. They should also not forget that they were appointed the 'community, of the middle way' and appointed as witnesses to good and righteousness (see verse 143 above). It does not become them, therefore, to indulge in sophistry and to play with the verses of the Book of God, to exploit the words of the Law to their advantage in achieving ends counter to its spirit, and to slump into injustice and other evil behaviour instead of directing the world to the Right Way.

اور جب تم عورتوں کو طلاق دے دو اور ان کی عدت پوری ہونے کو آ جائے، تو یا بھلے طریقے سے انہیں روک لو یا بھلے طریقے سے رخصت کر دو محض ستانے کی خاطر انہیں نہ روکے رکھنا یہ زیادتی ہوگی اور جو ایسا کرے گا، وہ در حقیقت آپ اپنے ہی اوپر ظلم کرے گا اللہ کی آیات کا کھیل نہ بناؤ بھول نہ جاؤ کہ اللہ نے کس نعمت عظمیٰ سے تمہیں سرفراز کیا ہے وہ تمہیں نصیحت کرتا ہے کہ جو کتاب اور حکمت اُس نے تم پر نازل کی ہے، اس کا احترام ملحوظ رکھو اللہ سے ڈرو اور خوب جان لو کہ اللہ کو ہر بات کی خبر ہے
