Summary/Abstract: The Qur'an has defined quite clearly all the provisions concerning marriage, regulating the number of wives, polygamy, relations between spouses, the obligations of each one, relations with slaves, etc. Yet it may be emphasized that, from the outset, the Quran, through Muhammad's voice, encourages marriage and exhorts respect and equality among believers. The Koran perceives marriage as an essential act, which is not only the privilege of free people: Sura XXIV. 32 recommends the marriage of slaves: "Marry the unmarried among you, as well as those of your slaves, men and women, who are honest!” Theoretically, in a Muslim family, all members must be equal before God and each other. Proponents of the theory of absolute equality between men and women invoke the text of Quran XXXIII. 35: Subjects (towards other human beings) and SUBJECTS (towards Allah = Muslims), believers and believers, prayers and prayers, those who are truthful, those who are steadfast, those who fear [Allah], those who chasten, those who fast, those who are chaste, those who invoke Allah, for those Allah has prepared a pardon and an immense reward.
