Surah An-Nisa' (The Women), Verse 22

وَلَا تَنْكِحُوْا مَا نَكَحَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مِّنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَّمَقْتًا وَسَآءَ سَبِیْلًا 

Wa laa tankihoo maa nakaha aabaaa'ukum minan nisaaa'i illaa maa qad salaf; innahoo kaana faahishatanw wa maqtanw wa saaa'a sabeelaa

And marry not women whom your fathers married,- except what is past: It was shameful and odious,- an abominable custom indeed.
