An-Nisa' (The Women)
Surah 4 · Verse 127
And they ask you about the women, say: Allah instructs you about them through that which is read to you from the book concerning the orphans among the women whom you do not give that which was prescribed for them nor do you desire to marry them, and the weak among the children, and that you stand with justice for the orphans; and whatever good you do, then Allah is certainly a Knower of it.
See Verses: 2-10 of Chapter: 4. There were cases when girls / women became orphans / widows and inherited appreciable property. These orphans / widows were under the guardianship of some relative. It sometimes happened that these relatives neither gave these women their property nor married them if they were ugly or had children to be supported.
