Sura Al-Nisa from 24 to 26


24. Also ( forbidden are ) women already married, except those ( slaves ) whom your right hands possess. Thus has Allâh ordained for you. All others are lawful, provided you seek ( them in marriage ) with Mahr ( bridal- money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage ) from your property, desiring chastity, not committing illegal sexual intercourse, so with those of whom you have enjoyed sexual relations, give them their Mahr as prescribed; but if after a Mahr is prescribed, you agree mutually ( to give more ) , there is no sin on you. Surely, Allâh is Ever All- Knowing, All- Wise.
25. And whoever of you have not the means wherewith to wed free, believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those ( slaves ) whom your right hands possess, and Allâh has full knowledge about your Faith; you are one from another. Wed them with the permission of their own folk ( guardians, Auliyâ’ or masters ) and give them their Mahr according to what is reasonable; they ( the above said captive and slave- girls ) should be chaste, not committing illegal sex, nor taking boy- friends. And after they have been taken in wedlock, if they commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is half that for free ( unmarried ) women. [ 1 ] This is for him among you who is afraid of being harmed in his religion or in his body; but it is better for you that you practise self- restraint, and Allâh is Oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful.
26. Allâh wishes to make clear ( what is lawful and what is unlawful ) to you, and to show you the ways of those before you, and accept your repentance, and Allâh is All- Knower, All- Wise.

[1] (V.4:25) Female or male slaves (married or unmarried); if they commit illegal sexual intercourse, their punishment is fifty (50) lashes (half of that which is for free unmarried women); neither stoning to death nor exile.
