Marriage

Al-Ma’idah
(5:5) This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith – his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.


Al-Baqarah
(2:221) And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.

(2:235) There is no blame on you if you make a proposal of marriage [during their waiting period] openly or keep it in your hearts.  Allah knows that you will naturally cherish them in your hearts; however, be careful not to make any secret agreement, and if you wish to marry, speak to them in an honorable manner.  Do not confirm the marriage tie until the prescribed waiting period expires.  You should know that Allah is aware of what is in your hearts, so fear Him.  Bear in mind that Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
(2:236) There is no blame on you if you divorce women before the marriage is consummated or the dowry is settled.  Pay them something anyhow, the rich man according to his means and poor according to his, a reasonable amount in all fairness.  This is an obligation on the righteous people.
(2:237) If you divorce them before the marriage is consummated but after the fixation of a dowry, give them half of their dowry unless the woman wants to waive it or the man in whose hand is the marriage tie agrees to forego [and pay the dowry in full].  To forgo [and give full dowry] is closer to piety.  Do not forget to show kindness to each other.  Surely Allah observes your actions.

(2:240) Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for them a year’s maintenance without causing them to leave their homes; but if they leave [the residence] on their own there is no blame on you for what they chose for themselves in a fair way. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
(2:241) Reasonable provisions must also be made for divorced women. That is an obligation upon those who fear Allah.
(2:242) That’s how Allah makes His Revelations clear to you so that you may understand.


Al-Isra
(17:32) And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.


An-Nur
(24:32) And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
(24:33) But let them who find not [the means for] marriage abstain [from sexual relations] until Allah enriches them from His bounty. And those who seek a contract [for eventual emancipation] from among whom your right hands possess – then make a contract with them if you know there is within them goodness and give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you. And do not compel your slave girls to prostitution, if they desire chastity, to seek [thereby] the temporary interests of worldly life. And if someone should compel them, then indeed, Allah is [to them], after their compulsion, Forgiving and Merciful.


Al-Ahzab
(33:49) O You who have believed, when you marry believing women and then divorce them before you have touched them, then there is not for you any waiting period to count concerning them. So provide for them and give them a gracious release.


An-Nisa
(4:3) And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice].
(4:4) [At the time of marriage] give the women their dowries willingly [as an obligation]; but if they, by their own free will, give up to you a portion of it then you may enjoy it with pleasure.

(4:19) O believers! It is not lawful for you consider women as a part of your inheritance and retain them against their will in order that you may force them to give up a part of the dowry you have given them, unless they are guilty of proven fornication.  Treat them with kindness even if you dislike them; it is quite possible that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good.
(4:20) If you wish to marry another wife in place of the one you already have, do not take back anything of what you have given her even if it be a heap of gold.  Would you take it back through slander and open sin [accusing her unjustly]?
(4:21) And how could you take it back when you have enjoyed conjugal happiness and she had taken from you a firm pledge of marriage?
(4:22) Do not marry those women whom your fathers had married, – except what happened prior to this commandment – surely it was shocking, disgusting and an evil practice.
(4:23) Forbidden to you [for marriage] are: your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, daughters of your brothers, daughters of your sisters, your foster-mothers, your foster-sisters, the mothers of your wives, your stepdaughters under your guardianship from those wives with whom you have consummated your marriage, but there is no blame on you in marrying your stepdaughters if you have not consummated your marriage with their mothers [whom you have divorced], and the wives of your own real sons; and [you are also forbidden] to take in marriage two sisters at oneand the same time except what happened prior to this commandment; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
(4:24) Also [forbidden for you] married women, except those who have fallen in your hands [prisoners of war].  This is the order of Allah [relating to marriage prohibitions].  All women other than these are lawful provided you seek [them in marriage] with gifts from your property [dowry], desiring chastity and not lust.  Give them their dowry as an obligation for the benefit you have received from your marriage relationship.  However, there is no blame on you if you change the agreement of dowry with mutual consent.  Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise.
(4:25) If any of you cannot afford to marry a free believing woman, let him marry one of his own slave girls who is a believer; Allah knows how good you are in your faith.  You all belong to one and the same community.  Marry them with the permission of their family and give them their fair dowry so that they may live a decent life in wedlock and not live as prostitutes or look for secret illicit relationships.  Then if after marriage they commit adultery, they shall be given half the punishment prescribed for a free adulteress.  The concession of such a marriage is for those of you who fear that they might commit a sin [if they do not get married], but it is better for you to practice self-restraint.  Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
(4:26) Allah desires to clarify, and guides you to the ways which were followed by the righteous people before you, and turns to you in mercy.  Allah is the Knowledgeable, Wise.
(4:27) Allah wishes to forgive you, but those who follow their lusts wish to see you deviate far away from the Right Way.
(4:28) Allah wishes to lighten your burdens because humans have been created weak by nature.

(4:34) Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
(4:35)
And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things].

(4:129) It is not possible for you to do justice between your wives even if you wish to do so; therefore, do not lean towards one wife to the extent that you leave the other hanging in air.  If you work out a friendly understanding and fear Allah, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


An-Nur
(24:60) There is no blame on such elderly women who have no interest in getting married, if they lay aside their cloaks without displaying their adornment, but it is better for them if they do not discard.  Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
(24:61) There is no blame on the blind, nor there is blame on the lame, nor there is blame on the sick, to eat at your table.  Nor shall it be an offense for you to eat in the houses of your own children, or your fathers, or your mothers, or your brothers, or your sisters, or your paternal uncles, or your paternal aunts, or your maternal uncles, or your maternal aunts, or your sincere friends, or in houses with the keys of which you are entrusted.  There is no blame on you whether you eat together or apart; however, when you enter the houses, you should greet one another with greeting of peace prescribed by Allah blessed and pure.  Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you, so that you may grow in understanding.


Remark: Only for Prophet –

Al-Ahzab
(33:50) O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
