An-Nisa 4:25 ومن لم يستطع منكم طولا ان ينكح المحصنات المومنات فمن ما ملكت ايمانكم من فتياتكم المومنات والله اعلم بايمانكم بعضكم من بعض فانكحوهن باذن اهلهن واتوهن اجورهن بالمعروف محصنات غير مسافحات ولا متخذات اخدان فاذا احصن فان اتين بفاحشة فعليهن نصف ما على المحصنات من العذاب ذالك لمن خشي العنت منكم وان تصبروا خير لكم والله غفور رحيم ٢٥
