وَلَا
تَنكِحُوا
مَا
نَكَحَ
آبَاؤُكُم
مِّنَ
النِّسَاءِ
إِلَّا
مَا
قَدْ
سَلَفَ
إِنَّهُ
كَانَ
فَاحِشَةً
وَمَقْتًا
وَسَاءَ
سَبِيلًا

Do not marry any of the women whom your fathers had married, excluding what is already past. That is indeed an indecency, an outrage and an evil course.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
