Rules of marriage and divorce appear in al-Baqarah, al-Nisāʾ, al-Ṭalāq, and other passages. This distribution shows that family rights and marital obligations cannot be fully understood from a single isolated verse.
One passage may address a particular aspect of marriage or rights, while another clarifies separation and associated obligations. Differences in audience and circumstances can affect how a passage is understood. Relevant verses must therefore be read together without erasing their distinct questions, conditions, and wording. A partial statement should never be made to stand in for the entire framework of family law.
