Why are there "Two types of Marriage" here =23/6
-
Salaam/Peace to All,
here we shall clearly see these most Essential and important Verses (=23/5-7 & 4/25-28), in this respect,
here thus===============
5- And those (Believers) are the ones who guard their chastity,6- (So they have marital relations) only with their spouses (=azwajihim) or what their right-hands
accommodated (=ma malakat aymanuhum); (and) they shall not be blamed.(*Both of these marital relations (=i.e. with their spouses or with what their right-hands accommodated) above
are defined as perfectly rightful and equal lawful/legitimate Marriages" (="Nikaah")
by our Lord AL-LAH, here (=4/25), as we will clearly and openly witness it here now.)7- But whoever seeks anything beyond these (=i.e. these two types of perfectly rightful and equal
"lawful/legitimate Marriages" (="Nikaah" above), then those are the transgressors.V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V
25- But whoever of you does not have financial-means (=tawlan) to marry the
believing "protected-Women" (=i.e. "Muhsanaat" they are financially secure and independent Women,
because they may be "well-protected and provided" in this regard by their own Families, or/and through
their own lawful and legitimate Jobs/Businesses, etc. therein),(you should seek to marry) from those that your right-hands would accommodate (=ma malakat aymanukum)
of your believing "working-Women" (="Fatayaatikum" they are financially less secure and
less independent Women, because they have to work --for average or minimum wage-- to take care of themselves
and also to help their Families.)Because AL-LAH knows-Best (the quality and strength of) your Belief, some of you are (thus) from some (=i.e.
we are created equally as "Man/Male" and "Woman/Female" here, and the Best among us, in the Sight of AL-LAH,
is --(not those who may be the Richest in worldly possessions here)-- but the One who would reverence HIM
the Most here =49/13).So you may marry them with the permission of their Families (=i.e. because it may have serious effect/consequence
also on their Families financially and also in other physical/emotional aspects as well, when/if they totally lose
the much needed --financial, and physical/emotional-- help of their Daughter unto them therein),and so you shall give them their payments in adequate/recognized/considerate (=almaroof) manner (=i.e.
the dowry payment fareedatan which should be set ideally in the beginning of Marriage =2/236-237
and then especially the regular --daily or weekly or monthly-- payment saduqatan =4/4
which should be given regularly as long as the Marriage perfectly and lawfully continues therein--
should not be less than this hard-working believing Woman (proposed to for Marriage therein) was already earning
in her Job as an average or minimum wage therein);(and in return for this Great Help and Support of AL-LAH unto them above,
these hard-working (in her Job or/and also at home) believing Women shall always maintain) moral behaviour,
by not committing lewdness, and by not having any secret-lover.And when they "become Protected" (=i.e. "uhsinna" when they thus become financially
more secure and more independent through this lawful Marriage therein)if they come with an immorality (=i.e. adultery, etc.) they shall have half of what is the punishment
for those who are "protected-Women" (=i.e. "Muhsanaat" from the beginning above.)---(*Because AL-LAH cares about those who live in financial-hardship (=alanata) here and thus Rightfully mitigates
the punishment for them, when/if they ever lose control and (unintentionally/uncontrollably/inadvertently) do
something wrong, in an unfortunate moment, in this respect above.)---This --second type of perfectly rightful and equal lawful/legitimate Marriage" (="Nikaah") above--
is for those (truly caring and compassionate Men) who would rightfully care about the financial-hardship
(=man khashiya alanata) --(of those financially less fortunate Women of/in the Society)-- from among you.And your perseverance (=tasbiroo thus to observe all of the Commandments (=Hukm) of AL-LAH,
wholeheartedly here =76/24) is Best for you. And AL-LAH is Forgiver, Merciful.26- (Thus) AL-LAH wants to clarify for you and guide you to the paths of those before you, and pardon you;
for AL-LAH is Knowledgeable, Wise.27- And AL-LAH (thus) wants to pardon you (=if we ever lose control and --unintentionally/uncontrollably/inadvertently--
do something wrong in this respect above),
but those who follow (their) lusts want that you deviate a great deviation --(by trying to make us forget or ignore
this Immense Compassion and Forgiveness of AL-LAH here, even thereafter, unto all of us 25/68-72, 73-76)28- AL-LAH (thus) wants to alleviate (your burden) from on you; (because) the human-being was observed
to be --physically/mentally-- weak. (=8/66 & 20/115 & 7/102 & 24/21 & .........)QURAN TESTAMENT 23/5-6-7 = 4/25-26-27-28
Remain in peace/salaam.
Whatever I have said that may be perfectly Correct and Right is from AL-LAH,
and whatever I have said that may be essentially or partially mistaken or wrong
may only be from my own self (shortcomings) (=34/50) -
As per 4.24, mamalakat aymanu... are a subset of the muhsanaat. At least some of the mamalakat... are a subset of the muhsanaat.
From the text it may be understood that they do not demand as much wealth in order to be married as thhose of the muhsanaat who are not mamalakaat...
Muhsana is the woman who is legally capable of sexual or marriage consent, whether rich or poor, married or unmarried.

As to there being two types, or rather two legal, terms for marriage representing two different sets of circumstances in it, I agree, and I think that it must have something to do with the degree of wealth autonomy of the wife, whether she could live by herself with her own means at any event or whether she would be dependent on the wealth of the husband. Iam not sure aobut this, I have just thought of it, as you, Last Day, have pointed out. It eould be worth to verify against all ocurrences and data within the Qur'an.
