Narrated AlZuhri: Urwa Bin AlZubair said that he asked Aisha about the meaning of the Quranic Verse:- And if you fear that you will not deal fairly with the orphan girls then marry other women of your choice. 4.2-3 Aisha said; It is about a female orphan under the guardianship of her guardian who is inclined towards her because of her beauty and wealth; and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what is given to women of her standard. So they i.e. guardians were forbidden to marry the orphans unless they paid them a full appropriate Mahr otherwise they were ordered to marry other women instead of them. Later on the people asked Allah Messenger ﷺ about it. So Allah revealed the following Verse:- They ask your instruction O Muhammad! regarding women. Say: Allah instructs you regarding them... 4.127 and in this Verse Allah indicated that if the orphan girl was beautiful and wealthy; her guardian would have the desire to marry her without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to what her peers could get; but if she was undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth; then he would not marry her; but seek to marry some other woman instead of her. So; since he did not marry her when he had no inclination towards her; he had not the right to marry her when he had an interest in her; unless he treated her justly by giving her a full Mahr and securing all her rights.
