235. And there is no sin on you if you make a hint of betrothal or
conceal it in yourself, Allâh knows that you will remember them,
but do not make a promise of contract with them in secret except
that you speak an honourable saying according to the Islâmic law
(e.g. you can say to her, "If one finds a wife like you, he will be
happy"). And do not consummate the marriage until the term
prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allâh knows what is in your
minds, so fear Him. And know that Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Forbearing.
