But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah's Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter" (Sahih Muslim 3371)
Dear Red, these hadiths show how Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did a great contribution in the world civilisation, a reform in the history of war.. He allowed his companies to marry the women captives of the war, not by humiliating and raping them as usually done by the winners of the war (up to day: Remember some 8,000 Muslim women were raped in Srebrenica, 1995). Notice: To marry the post war' female captives is to be husbands 'who have to be responsibled' to feed and to protect their wives and children physically and spiritually...
