467. (v) Having a concubine without association with a wife is not unlawful, when it is for lawful, just and truly weighty reasons.

What is meant by lawful, just and truly weighty reasons will be stated in due course. We preface this with a mere mention of the reasons, in order to distinguish this way of having a concubine, now to be discussed, from the previous way.
