A male or female slave may not marry without the permission of the master. If a male slave marries with his master’s consent, the dower becomes a debt against his person and he may be sold to satisfy it.

If a man marries a woman for a dower of one thousand dirhams on condition that he will not take her out of the town, or that he will not take another wife, then so long as he fulfills the condition she is entitled to the named sum. If, however, he marries another wife or removes her from the town, she is entitled to a dower equal to that of her peers.

If he stipulates as dower an unspecified animal, the designation is valid. She is entitled to one of medium quality, and the husband may choose either to give her such an animal or its monetary equivalent.

Should he marry her on the basis of an unspecified garment, she is entitled to a dower equivalent to that of her peersز
