Note 35 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
The formula of Musalmân exogamy is thus given in the Qurân, Surah IV., 27:—“Ye are forbidden to marry your mothers, your daughters, your sisters and your aunts both on the father’s and on the mother’s side; your brother’s daughters and your sister’s daughters; your mothers who have given you suck and your foster sisters; your wives’ mothers and your daughters-in-law born of your wives with whom ye have cohabited. Ye are also prohibited to take to wife two sisters (except what is already past) nor to marry women who are already married.” ↑
