{{Quote|Vincent J. Cornell (2007), Vol. 5, Voices of Change, pp. 85-113 (Islam and Gender Justice, by Ziba Mir-Hosseini).|Marriage, as defined by classical jurists, is '''a contract of exchange whose prime purpose is to render sexual relations between a man and a woman licit'''. Patterned after the contract of sale, which served as a model for most contracts in Islamic jurisprudence, it has three essential elements: the offer (ijab) by the woman or her guardian (wali), the acceptance (qabul) by the man, and the payment of dower (mahr), a sum of money or any valuable that the husband pays or undertakes to pay to the bride before or after consummation.<BR><BR>The marriage contract is called '''‘aqd al-nikah (literally ‘contract of coitus’)'''. In discussing its legal structure and effects, classical jurists often used the analogy of '''the contract of sale''' and alluded to parallels between the status of wives and female slaves, to whose sexual services husbands/owners were entitled, and who were deprived of freedom of movement.}}
