Forced Marriage: Difference between revisions

[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammads Wives and Concubines#Juwairiya|Juwairiya]] was a captive from the Banu Mustaliq tribe.  She was given to one of the Muslims, and she entered into an agreement with him to purchase her freedom.  She then sought assistance from Muhammad for the payment amount.  He offered to pay the price of her freedom if she married him (since she was very beautiful).  So, she married him and the captives were released because they had become the relatives of Muhammad by marriage.  On account of Juwairiya, one hundred families of the Banu al-Mustaliq were set free.

[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammads Wives and Concubines#Raihana|Rayhana]] was a Jewish captive from the Quraiza tribe.  One source says Muhammad offered her marriage instead of slavery, but she declined and remained Jewish.  Another source says he married her, and her manumission was her mahr.
