Is it true that the Quran promises martyrs 72 virgins in paradise?

No. A peer-reviewed chapter states the 72-virgins-in-Paradise idea for martyrs appears nowhere in the Quran, and a reference article notes the 72-wives hadith is sometimes erroneously attributed to the Quran. Two book snippets also call the promise a myth, though only in passing.
