: If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess , that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.
- Qur'an, Sura 4 ( An-Nisa), Ayah 3
