Dr. Shabir Ally explores arguments that the Prophet Muhammad married Maria. He says that marriage practices were rudimentary, and it wasn't always clear to people if a man had married a woman or taken her as a concubine. The Prophet was instructed to follow the dictates of the Quran as were other Muslims; the Quran says enslaved women should be married off. Moreover, the Quran instructs people to set slaves free, and the Prophet is reported to have encouraged this as well. The Prophet freed two captives of war and they married him. We also know that the Prophet was foremost in doing good. It is more likely that the Prophet would have freed Maria -- if she was even enslaved to begin with -- and married her.
