==Poor believers may marry from among the believing slave women==
==Poor believers may marry from among the believing slave women==
In Islamic law, a master had to free his slave in order to marry her himself, but he could give her in marriage to someone else and she would remain his slave. Any children the couple produced would also be his slaves. See [[Slavery in Islamic Law]] for detailed information.
{{Quote|{{Quran|4|25}}|And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.}}
