Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30675 — A woman who marries her slave

Husayn reports that Bakr said: A woman married her slave. She was asked about this and said: Has Allah, the Lord of Might, not said: 'and those whom your right hands possess' [Surah al-Nisa: 36]? My right hand possesses him. Another woman married without witnesses and without the permission of a guardian. She was asked about this and said: I am a previously married woman and I have authority over my own affair. So the case of these two women was brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He gathered the people and asked them about the two of them. The people said: They have disputed with you by means of the Book of Allah, Exalted is His Majesty. And Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: They have disputed with you by means of the Book of Allah, Exalted is His Majesty. So he gave each of them one hundred lashes. Then he wrote to the governors of the cities: Any woman who marries her slave, or who marries without the permission of a guardian, has the status of a woman who commits zina.
