Surah Al-Baqarah: 2 - Ayah: 221
Arabic
وَلَا تَنۡكِحُوا الۡمُشۡرِكٰتِ حَتّٰى يُؤۡمِنَّ​ؕ وَلَاَمَةٌ مُّؤۡمِنَةٌ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ مُّشۡرِكَةٍ وَّلَوۡ اَعۡجَبَتۡكُمۡ​ۚ وَلَا تُنۡكِحُوا الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ حَتّٰى يُؤۡمِنُوۡا ​ؕ وَلَعَبۡدٌ مُّؤۡمِنٌ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ مُّشۡرِكٍ وَّلَوۡ اَعۡجَبَكُمۡؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ يَدۡعُوۡنَ اِلَى النَّارِ  ۖۚ وَاللّٰهُ يَدۡعُوۡٓا اِلَى الۡجَـنَّةِ وَالۡمَغۡفِرَةِ بِاِذۡنِهٖ​ۚ وَيُبَيِّنُ اٰيٰتِهٖ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ‏
English
Marry not the women who associate others with Allah in His Divinity until they believe; for a believing slave-girl is better than a (free, respectable) woman who associates others with Allah in His Divinity, even though she might please you. Likewise, do not give your women in marriage to men who associate others with Allah in His Divinity until they believe; for a believing slave is better than a (free, respectable) man who associates others with Allah in His Divinity, even though he might please you. Such people call you towards the Fire, and Allah calls you, by His leave, towards Paradise and forgiveness; and He makes His injunctions clear to people so that they may take heed.
Urdu
Tum mushrik auraton se hargiz nikah na karna jab tak ke woh iman na le aayein, ek momin laundi (slave) mushrik sharif-zaadi se behtar hai agarche woh tumhein bahut pasand ho, aur apni auraton ke nikah mushrik mardon se kabhi na karna jab tak ke woh iman na le aayein. Ek momin ghulam mushrik sharif se behtar hai agarche woh tumhein bahut pasand ho. Yeh log tumhein aag ki taraf bulate hain aur Allah apne izan se tumko jannat aur magfirat ki taraf bulata hai, aur woh apne ehkaam wazey taur par logon ke saamne bayan karta hai, tawaqqu hai ke woh sabaq lenge aur naseehat qabool karenge
Surah Al-Ma'idah: 5 - Ayah: 5
Arabic
اَلۡيَوۡمَ اُحِلَّ لَـكُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتُ​ ؕ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوۡا الۡكِتٰبَ حِلٌّ لَّـکُمۡ وَطَعَامُكُمۡ حِلٌّ لَّهُمۡ​ وَالۡمُحۡصَنٰتُ مِنَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ وَالۡمُحۡصَنٰتُ مِنَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡـكِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ اِذَاۤ اٰتَيۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ مُحۡصِنِيۡنَ غَيۡرَ مُسَافِحِيۡنَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِىۡۤ اَخۡدَانٍ​ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِالۡاِيۡمَانِ فَقَدۡ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهٗ وَهُوَ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ‏ 
English
This day all good things have been made lawful to you. The food of the People of the Book is permitted to you, and your food is permitted to them. And permitted to you are chaste women, be they either from among the believers or from among those who have received the Book before you,provided you become their protectors in wedlock after paying them their bridal-due, rather than go around committing fornication and taking them as secret-companions. The work of he who refuses to follow the way of faith will go waste, and he will be among the utter losers in the Hereafter.
Urdu
Aaj tumhare liye sari paak cheezein halal kardi gayi hain, ehle kitab ka khana tumhare liye halal hai aur tumhara khana unke liye aur mehfooz auratein bhi tumhare liye halal hain khwa woh ehle iman ke giroh se hon ya un qaumon mein se jinko tumse pehle kitaab di gayi thi, bashart-ye-ke tum unke mehar ada karke nikah mein unke muhafiz (protectors) bano, na yeh ke azad shehwat (lust) rani karne lago ya chori chupe ashnaiyan karo. Aur jo kisi ne iman ki rawish par chalne se inkar kiya to uska sara karnama e zindagi zaye ho jayega aur woh aakhirat mein diwaliya (among the utter losers) hoga
Surah An-Nur: 24 - Ayah: 26
Arabic
اَلۡخَبِيۡثٰتُ لِلۡخَبِيۡثِيۡنَ وَالۡخَبِيۡثُوۡنَ لِلۡخَبِيۡثٰتِ​ۚ وَالطَّيِّبٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِيۡنَ وَالطَّيِّبُوۡنَ لِلطَّيِّبٰتِ​ۚ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مُبَرَّءُوۡنَ مِمَّا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ​ؕ لَهُمۡ مَّغۡفِرَةٌ وَّرِزۡقٌ كَرِيۡمٌ‏
English
Corrupt women are for corrupt men, and corrupt men for corrupt women. Good women are for good men, and good men for good women. They are innocent of the calumnies people utter. There shall be forgiveness for them and a generous provision.
Urdu
Khabees (Impure) auratein khabees mardon ke liye hain aur khabees (Impure) mard khabees (Impure) auraton ke liye. Paakeeza auratein pakeeza mardon ke liya hain aur pakeeza mard pakeeza auraton ke liye. Unka daaman paak hai un baaton se jo banane waley banate hain. Unke liye magfirat hai aur rizq e kareem
Surah Al-Mumtahanah: 60 - Ayah: 10
Arabic
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا جَآءَكُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتُ مُهٰجِرٰتٍ فَامۡتَحِنُوۡهُنَّ​ ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِاِيۡمَانِهِنَّ​ ۚ فَاِنۡ عَلِمۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ مُؤۡمِنٰتٍ فَلَا تَرۡجِعُوۡهُنَّ اِلَى الۡكُفَّارِ​ ؕ لَا هُنَّ حِلٌّ لَّهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحِلُّوۡنَ لَهُنَّ​ ۚ وَاٰ تُوۡهُمۡ مَّاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا​ ؕ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اَنۡ تَنۡكِحُوۡهُنَّ اِذَاۤ اٰ تَيۡتُمُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ​ ؕ وَلَا تُمۡسِكُوۡا بِعِصَمِ الۡكَوَافِرِ وَسۡــَٔـلُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡفَقۡتُمۡ وَلۡيَسۡــَٔـلُوۡا مَاۤ اَنۡفَقُوۡا​ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ حُكۡمُ اللّٰهِ​ ؕ يَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَكُمۡ​ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ‏ 
English
Believers, when believing women come to you as Emigrants (in the cause of faith), examine them. Allah fully knows (the truth) concerning their faith. And when you have ascertained them to be believing women, do not send them back to the unbelievers. Those women are no longer lawful to the unbelievers, nor are those unbelievers lawful to those (believing) women. Give their unbelieving husbands whatever they have spent (as bridal-dues); and there is no offence for you to marry those women if you give them their bridal-dues. Do not hold on to your marriages with unbelieving women: ask for the return of the bridal-due you gave to your unbelieving wives and the unbelievers may ask for the return of the bridal-due they had given to their believing wives. Such is Allah's command. He judges between you. Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
Urdu
Aey logon jo iman laye ho, jab momin auratein hijrat karke tumhare paas aayein to (unke momin honay ki) jaanch padtaal karlo. Aur unke iman ki haqeeqat Allah hi behtar janta hai. Phir jab tumhein maloom ho jaye ke woh momin hain to unhein kuffar ki taraf wapas na karo. Na woh kuffar ke liye halal hain aur na kuffar unke liye halal. Unke kafir shoharon ne jo mehar unko diye thay woh unhein pher do aur unsey nikah kar lene par tumse koi gunaah nahin jabke tum unke mehar unko ada kardo. Aur tum khud bhi kafir auraton ko apne nikah mein na roakey raho, jo mehar tumne apni kafir biwiyon ko diye thay woh tum wapas maang lo aur jo mehar kafiron ne apni musalmaan biwiyon ko diye thay unhein woh wapas maang lein. Yeh Allah ka hukum hai, woh tumhare darmiyaan faisla karta hai aur Allah Aleem-o-Hakeem (all knowing-most wise) hai
