وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمُ ٱسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍ وَءَاتَيْتُمْ إِحْدَىٰهُنَّ قِنطَارًا فَلَا تَأْخُذُوا۟ مِنْهُ شَيْـًٔا أَتَأْخُذُونَهُۥ بُهْتَٰنًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا

Why this meaning was chosen

All 44 family occurrences were reviewed together on one page. The five protected draft segments were left untouched; their existing changed and exchange renderings agree with the same core. Quran 16:101 explicitly places one sign in the place of another, 25:70 changes bad deeds into good deeds, and 35:43 contrasts change with transfer, anchoring change of identity or condition rather than movement alone. The 39 frozen targets are partitioned compositionally by form, voice, and nominal function, with no semantic challenge requiring user adjudication.
