"To her, she said, 'Rather, may God Almighty,' in the place of Adam to her, and it became the custom of man to go to women and sit with them and touch their bodies with his hands, which ignited human desire, and he wanted to have intercourse with her, as is the requirement of animality. So God said, 'O Adam, do not go out except with sincerity and a marriage contract.' Then God Almighty delivered a marriage sermon in His ancient word, saying, 'Praise be to My glory and My majesty. All My servants and those close to Me are My servants. I bear witness, O My angels and inhabitants of My heavens, that I have married Badi'ah, the daughter of Eve, to Adam, My vicegerent, for a dowry of remembrance and glorification.' And this became a tradition for procreation. But when the regions and languages differed, the tribes and customs multiplied, and the custom of each people differed from the custom of others, even if the contract and the purpose were one. So the custom of the Fur is that males and females resemble each other. They grow up together in their youth, tending sheep, and are not always together. So perhaps the young men and young women would accompany each other from that time, and affection would be established between them that would not fade over the years. So if he loved her and she loved him, he would lean on her and become close to her, and he would not be pleased if anything happened to her out of jealousy. So he would send his father or his mother or one of his relatives to propose to her. If the proposal was agreed upon and carried out according to his desire, he would marry her."
