"And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done)."

Sounds beautiful to me - unmarried women are off limits...seek eligible women w/out debauchery...give unto them their portions. I hope you do not still believe we are in the 9th century and have slaves do you? LOL.
