Commentary:
What Are These Limitations for ?
Following the different ordinances in the field of marriage stated through previous verses, there may arise this question that what all these limitations and lawful restrictions are for.

This verse and the two following ones answer this question. The above-mentioned verse indicates that Allah wishes to open the way of happiness and felicity to you by these instructions. It says:
" Allah desires to make clear (the way of felicity) to you, ... "
Besides that, you are not alone in this path, and Allah desires to guide you towards the correct ways and practices of those who were before you. It says:
" ... and to guide you in the ways of those before you, ... "
In addition to that, He wants to accept your repentance.
" ... and to turn to you (mercifully), ... "
Allah desires to return back again to you His favours and blessings that have been ceased for you because of your corruptions and deviations. This is in the case that you, too, return back from the deviated paths that were paved before Islam, in the Age of Ignorance.
At the end of the verse, it says:
" ... and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. "
This phrase means that Allah is cognizant to His ordinances, and He has legislated them through His Own Wisdom for you.
