Sahih al-Bukhari 6965 (Book 90, Hadith 12) #6695
Justice for Orphan Girls

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the verse from the Quran which states that guardians of orphan girls should not marry them unless they treat them justly by giving them their full Mahr.

Narrated 'Urwa: That he asked 'Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, marry (other) women of your choice'. (4:3) 'Aisha said, "It is about an orphan girl under the custody of her guardian who being attracted by her wealth and beauty wants to marry her with Mahr less than other women of her status. So such guardians were forbidden to marry them unless they treat them justly by giving them their full Mahr. Then the people sought the verdict of Allah's Apostle for such cases, whereupon Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning women'. (4:127) (The sub-narrator then mentioned the Hadith)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ كَانَ عُرْوَةُ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ‏{‏وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُقْسِطُوا فِي الْيَتَامَى فَانْكِحُوا مَا طَابَ لَكُمْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ‏}‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ هِيَ الْيَتِيمَةُ فِي حَجْرِ وَلِيِّهَا، فَيَرْغَبُ فِي مَالِهَا وَجَمَالِهَا، فَيُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا بِأَدْنَى مِنْ سُنَّةِ نِسَائِهَا، فَنُهُوا عَنْ نِكَاحِهِنَّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقْسِطُوا لَهُنَّ فِي إِكْمَالِ الصَّدَاقِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَى النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏وَيَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي النِّسَاءِ‏}‏ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ‏.‏

This hadith explains a verse from the Quran which states that guardians of orphan girls should not marry them unless they treat them justly by giving them their full Mahr. The Prophet Muhammad was asked about this situation, and Allah revealed a new verse in response to it. The main idea behind this is that justice must be done when it comes to marriage, especially when it involves an orphan girl who is under the custody of her guardian. It is important to ensure that she gets her full rights as a woman, including her right to receive her full Mahr before getting married. This hadith teaches us about justice and fairness in marriage, as well as protecting the rights of women in society.
