235 And there is no blame on you respecting that which you speak indirectly in the asking of (such) women in marriage or keep (the proposal) concealed within your minds; Allah knows that you win mention them, but do not give them a promise in secret unless you speak in a lawful manner, and do not confirm the marriage tie until the writing is fulfilled, and know that Allah knows what is in your minds, therefore beware of Him, and know that Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing.
235 Wala si vibaya kwenu katika kupeleka posa kwa ishara tu kwa wanawake waliomo edani au mkadhamiria katika nyoyo zenu. Mwenyezi Mungu anajua kwamba nyinyi mtawakumbuka. Lakini msiwaahidi kwa siri, ila mnene maneno mema. Wala msiazimie kufunga ndoa mpaka eda ifike mwisho wake. Na jueni kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu anajua yaliyomo katika nafsi zenu.
