[quote]Assalam alaikum, Here are some other verses supporting the view by sadiamalik that marriage is allowed with slaves: 24.32 [b]Marry those[/b] among you who are single, or the virtuous ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His grace: for Allah encompasseth all, and he knoweth all things. 4.25 If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may [b]wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess[/b]: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. 4.3 And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear that ye cannot do justice then one (only) or (the captives) that your right hands possess. Also this verse states to hold intercourse with the wife, but does not say anything about the slaves or ones whom your right hand possesses: 2.187 It is made lawful for you to go in unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you... However read this verse. It makes it legal to marry a woman who is already married but has come under your possession (as a war prisoner). So her becoming a slave will anutomatically null and void her first marriage. 4.24 Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess: Thus hath Allah ordained (Prohibitions) against you... From all this it seems to me that a free man may marry a woman who is not free. Her current marriage is void if she becomes a prisoner of war and the owner can marry her. The question arises whether or not he can rape her, obviously the subjugated woman will not want to have sex with the captor. Going with the theme of the holy Quran, to be merciful and humble and treat others with equity, it is against the spirit of Islam to walk over someone's rights and trample all over them in this manner. These laws regarding prisoners of war seem to comply with those times and what the culture was then. Islam did not right away ban slavery, but made laws to define the rights free and non-free people would have with respect to each other. We do not have that kind of slavery any more and even though we have prisoners of war, the victor state takes care of them and they do not go into the possession of individual victors. Therefore the case of sleeping with captured women or marrying them does not really arise any more.[/quote]
