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 Allāh 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 i.e., mahr 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 affliction i.e., sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
