The verse is...

The verse is: “Divorced women shall wait by themselves for three periods of purity [after menses], and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs if they believe in Allah and the Last Day, and their husbands have a greater right to restore them during this [duration] if they desire reconcilement.

The wives have rights similar to the obligations upon them, in accordance with honourable norms; and men have a degree above them, and Allah is all-mighty and all-wise” (2:228) The context of the verse makes it clear that the divorcee should refrain (from remarriage) for three menstrual cycles so that whatever has been created by Allah becomes pronounced then it goes on to say that men have one advantage.

This advantage given to men is that they can remarry right away and women have to wait almost three months, or more if found to be pregnant before they can remarry). Obviously, an advantage in a peculiar situation does not mean one is superior to the other. It is only for this reason that men have one degree above women, because of their biological construction they do not have to wait for a stated period for the purpose of getting married again upon divorce or if their spouse dies.

Only in the matter men have a degree higher than women, but apart from this, both have equal rights.
