The Majestic Quran

22 Do not marry women who your fathers married, except if such a marriage has already taken place; from now on it would count as gross indecency, vile, and leading to evil consequences. 23 It is forbidden for you to marry: your mothers; your daughters; your sisters; your maternal aunts; your paternal aunts; nieces from the brother’s or sister’s side; your foster mothers who have suckled you, and your foster sisters; your mothers-in- law; the stepdaughters who are in your care from women with whom you have consummated marriage, but if you have not consummated your marriage with them then there’s no blame.

God is the Knower, the Wise. M 25 If anyone lacks the means to marry chaste believing freewomen then let him marry from the believing slave girls you own. God knows best your faith.

If, after they are married, they commit an act of gross indecency then their punishment is half that of a chaste freewoman. That permission is for those of you who fear falling into sin. It is, of course , best for you to be patient and exercise restraint . God is Forgiving, and Kind. G 26 God explains and guides you in the traditions of those believers who came before you, and to forgive you. God is the Knower, the Wise. 27 God wishes to accept your repentance, whereas people who pursue their lusts
