(3) The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or polytheist, and none marries her except a fornicator[975] or a polytheist, and that [i.e., marriage to such persons] has been made unlawful to the believers.

Translator's notes

[975]- Included in this ruling is the adulterer as well. Such persons cannot be married to believers unless they have repented and reformed.
