The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Koran: merciful; and married women, save such as your right hands possess,-
God's Book against you!- but lawful for you is all besides this, for
you to seek them with your wealth, marrying them and not
fornicating; but such of them as ye have enjoyed, give them their hire
as a lawful due; for there is no crime in you about what ye agree
between you after such lawful due, verily, God is knowing and wise.
But whosoever of you cannot go the length of marrying marriageable
women who believe, then take of what your right hands possess, of your
maidens who believe;- though God knows best about your faith. Ye
come one from the other; then marry them with the permission of
their people, and give them their hire in reason, they being chaste
