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.

Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing (period).  Upon the father is the mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable.  No person is charged with more than his capacity.  No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child.  And upon the (father's) heir is (a duty) like that (of the father).  And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them.  And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable.  And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do.

Divorce is twice.  Then, either keep (her) in an acceptable manner or release (her) with good treatment.  And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep (within) the limits of Allah.  But if you fear that they will not keep (within) the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself.  These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them.  And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers.

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe.  And a believing slave woman is better then a polytheist, even though she might please you.  And do not marry polytheistic men (to your women) until they believe.  And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you.  Those invite (you) to the Fire, but Allah invited to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission.  And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.
