Book of Marriage (Nikah)

Chapter on What Allah (swt), the Almighty, Has Made Permissible and Prohibited in Marriage

142. hadíth

"وَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَنْ تُنْكَحَ اَلْحُرَّةُ عَلَى اَلْأَمَةِ وَ لاَ تُنْكَحَ اَلْأَمَةُ عَلَى اَلْحُرَّةِ" وَ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ حُرَّةً عَلَى أَمَةٍ قَسَمَ لِلْحُرَّةِ ضِعْفَيْ مَا يَقْسِمُ لِلْأَمَةِ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ نَفْسِهِ وَ لِلْأَمَةِ اَلثُّلُثَ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ نَفْسِهِ".

Commander of the Faithful (a.s) ruled: "A free woman may be married before a bondwoman, but a bondwoman may not be married before a free woman." If a man marries a free woman along with a bondwoman, he must allocate to the free woman twice as much from his wealth and time as he allocates to the bondwoman, and the bondwoman is entitled to one-third of his wealth and time."
