"Also [prohibited are] women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained [Prohibitions] against you: Except for these, all others are lawful, provided ye seek [them in marriage] with gifts from your property,- desiring chastity, not lust, seeing that ye derive benefit from them, give them their dowers [at least] as prescribed; but if, after a dower is prescribed, agree Mutually [to vary it], there is no blame on you, and Allah is All-knowing, All-wise."— Yusuf Ali translation
