وَ اَنْكِحُوا الْاَیَامٰى مِنْكُمْ وَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَ اِمَآئِكُمْ اِنْ یَّكُوْنُوْا فُقَرَآءَ یُغْنِهِمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۳۲)(سورۃ النور)
Translation
And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves. If they should be poor, Allah will enrich them from His bounty, and Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing. (32) (Asan Tarjuma-e-Quran)
Meaning: In this Surah, where various commandments have been given to prevent obscenity and immorality, encouragement has also been given to fulfill the sexual desire present in human nature through lawful means. Therefore, this verse exhorts that all concerned individuals should make an effort to arrange the marriage of mature men and women who are capable of marriage. One should not fear that even though there is financial capability at present, the increased expenses of a wife and children after marriage might lead to poverty. Rather, when there is capability for marriage at the moment, one should proceed with marriage relying upon Allah. If the marriage is performed with the intention of maintaining chastity, Allah Almighty will also make suitable arrangements for future expenses. However, the next verse mentions those who do not possess the financial capability for marriage even at present. They have been emphasized to remain chaste until Allah creates capability for them out of His bounty. (Asan Tarjuma-e-Quran)
