An Exegetic Study of the verse: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans

A survey of the Quranic verses and commentaries make it clear that some verses carry deeper and broader concept and demand further study. One of these verses is: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four. The relationship between the condition and its following sentential part in the verse, the claim of distortion of the Quran as mentioned under the verse in Tabarsi`s Al-Ihtijaj, vujub or istihbabe marriage and meaning of justice in the verse, etc have been among the subjects attracting commentators` much notable attention. The most probable view of the relationship between the condition and its following part in the verse is that (ye) marry should be taken as the sentential part following conditional sentence. The narration mentioned concerning the distortion of the Quran, due to its conflict with the verses of the Quran and other narratives is also rejected. Again, command to marriage in the verse does not mean necessity of it, but it seems to be recommended. Finally, the justice at hand in the verse, according to the pure`s sayings, is financial justice, and, therefore, there may not be found any contradiction with the verse 129 of this chapter which makes it impossible to establish emotional justice among women.
