24. Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands
possess: Thus hath God ordained (Prohibitions) against you: Except for these, all others
are lawful, provided ye seek (them in marriage) with gifts from your prope rty,- 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 God is All-knowing, All-wise.
