surah Baqarah aya 237 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَإِن طَلَّقْتُمُوهُنَّ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تَمَسُّوهُنَّ وَقَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِيضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ إِلَّا أَن يَعْفُونَ أَوْ يَعْفُوَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ ۚ وَأَن تَعْفُوا أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَنسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ﴾
[ البقرة: 237]
2:237 And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give] half of what you specified - unless they forego the right or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. And to forego it is nearer to righteousness. And do not forget graciousness between you. Indeed Allah, of whatever you do, is Seeing.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIf you divorce your wives with whom you have entered into marriage before having sexual intercourse with them and you had fixed the amount of the dowry, you will have to pay half of this amount to them, unless they give up this right of theirs or the husband wishes to pay the full dowry.
To give up your right is closer to Mindfulness.
Do not forget to show kindness and compassion to one another in matters of rights.
Allah sees what you do, so try to do what is best to earn His reward.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And if you divorce them before you have touched (had a sexual relation with) them, and you have appointed unto them the Mahr (bridal money given by the husbands to his wife at the time of marriage), then pay half of that (Mahr), unless they (the women) agree to forego it, or he (the husband), in whose hands is the marriage tie, agrees to forego and give her full appointed Mahr. And to forego and give (her the full Mahr) is nearer to At-Taqwa (piety, right-eousness, etc.). And do not forget liberality between yourselves. Truly, Allah is All-Seer of what you do.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the fixation of a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands is the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's half) is the nearest to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For Allah sees well all that ye do.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And if you divorce them before you have touched (had a sexual relation with) them, and you have appointed for them their due (dowry), then pay half of that, unless they (the women) agree to remit it, or he (the husband), in whose hands is the marriage tie, agrees to remit it. And to remit is nearer to At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness). And do not forget liberality between yourselves. Truly, Allah is All-Seer of what you do.

2:237 And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you translate in arabic
وإن طلقتموهن من قبل أن تمسوهن وقد فرضتم لهن فريضة فنصف ما فرضتم إلا أن يعفون أو يعفو الذي بيده عقدة النكاح وأن تعفوا أقرب للتقوى ولا تنسوا الفضل بينكم إن الله بما تعملون بصير
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 237 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 38 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And if you divorce them before consummating marriage but after already deciding on the dower’s amount, then they are entitled to half the determined amount unless they themselves, or their representatives, grant remission of the due amount. And to grant remission is nearer to piety. Do not forget to exercise good will among each other and to commit generosity, for the actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts. Allah is Bassirun, He sees all you do
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:237) In case you fixed a dower for them and then divorced them before you touched them, you should pay half of the fixed dower. But there is no harm if the woman agrees to forego it or the man, in whose hands is the marriage tie, is generous enough (to pay the dower in full). And if you (men) act generously, it is akin to piety. Do not forget to show generosity in your dealings *261 with one another for Allah sees what you do.
And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you meaning
*261). Magnanimity in dealings is essential if human relationships are to remain sound and pleasant. If everyone were to stick strictly to his legal rights and claims, a pleasant social life would he rendered impossible.
And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you meaning in Urdu
اور اگر تم نے ہاتھ لگانے سے پہلے طلاق دی ہے، لیکن مہر مقرر کیا جا چکا ہو، تو اس صورت میں نصف مہر دینا ہوگا یہ اور بات ہے کہ عورت نرمی برتے (اور مہر نہ لے) یا وہ مرد، جس کے اختیار میں عقد نکاح ہے، نرمی سے کام لے (اور پورا مہر دیدے)، اور تم (یعنی مرد) نرمی سے کام لو، تو یہ تقویٰ سے زیادہ مناسبت رکھتا ہے آپس کے معاملات میں فیاضی کو نہ بھولو تمہارے اعمال کو اللہ دیکھ رہا ہے
