This verse 65:4 is read by the tafsirs as a continuation of Qur'an 33:49. A question that naturally arises from these verses, and which was more or less answered by the mufassiruun, is 'if a woman who has not had sex should not have to observe any 'iddah at all, as mentioned in 33:49, why does 65:4 specifically mention a waiting period for women who have not had any menstruation at all?' Since lawful shari'i sex can only happen with a free, believing woman if she is married, and since a woman has to be married first in order to be divorced, the answer seems to be that marrying pre-pubescent girls and having sex with them is sanctioned by the Qur'an. | This verse 65:4 is read by the tafsirs as a continuation of Qur'an 33:49.
