Sura Al-Nisa from 15 to 19


15. And those of your women who commit illegal sexual intercourse, take the evidence of four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them ( i.e. women ) to houses until death comes to them or Allâh ordains for them some ( other ) way. [ 1 ]
16. And the two persons ( man and woman ) among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, hurt them both. [ 2 ] And if they repent ( promise Allâh that they will never repeat, i.e. commit illegal sexual intercourse and other similar sins ) and do righteous good deeds, leave them alone. Surely, Allâh is Ever All- Forgiving ( the One Who forgives and accepts repentance ) , ( and He is ) Most Merciful.
17. Allâh accepts only the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and foolishness and repent soon afterwards; it is they whom Allâh will forgive and Allâh is Ever All- Knower, All- Wise.
18. And of no effect is the repentance of those who continue to do evil deeds until death faces one of them and he says: « Now I repent; » nor of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful torment.
19. O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will; and you should not treat them with harshness, that you may take away part of the Mahr [ 3 ] you have given them, unless they commit open illegal sexual intercourse; and live with them honourably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allâh brings through it a great deal of good.

[1] (V.4:15) The provision of this Verse has been abrogated by the Verse of Sûrat An-Nûr (V.24:2), ordaining lashing for the unmarried and stoning to death for the married, when four witnesses testify to the crime.

[2] (V.4:16) See (V.24:2).

[3] (V.4:19) Mahr: Bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage.
