"It would, however, be very helpful for the friends to know that the question which the above- mentioned missionary has raised in connection with the marriage of Baha'u'llah and the provisions in the Aqdas regarding the institution of marriage have been explained by Abdu'l- Baha in a Tablet which the Guardian hopes to have translated and published in conjunction with the Aqdas. Moreover, as regards Baha'u'llah's marriage, it should be noted that His three marriages were all contracted before He revealed His Book of Laws, and even before His declaration in Baghdad, at a time when Baha'i marriage laws had not yet been made known, and the Revelation not yet disclosed."
