The Cow 2:232 Verb
وَإِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَاۤءَ فَبَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ أَن یَنكِحۡنَ أَزۡوَ ٰجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَ ٰضَوۡا۟ بَیۡنَهُم بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۗ ذَ ٰلِكَ یُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ مِنكُمۡ یُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡیَوۡمِ ٱلۡءَاخِرِۗ ذَ ٰلِكُمۡ أَزۡكَىٰ لَكُمۡ وَأَطۡهَرُۚ وَٱللَّهُ یَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٢٣٢
Umm Muhammad (Sahih International): And when you divorce women and they have fulfilled their term, do not prevent them from remarrying their [former] husbands if they agree among themselves on an acceptable basis. That is instructed to whoever of you believes in Allah and the Last Day. That is better for you and purer, and Allah knows and you know not

Umm Muhammad (Sahih International): O you who have believed, it is not lawful for you to inherit women by compulsion.
