 The orphans mentioned in that ayah are those maids' children whose fathers are unknown, for the maids were used by both their owners and other men. And the real meaning of the ayah is:
-{{quote ||If you fear from acting unjustly in the eye of Allah by using your own child as a sex toy (without knowing it), marry other women as many as you need (because they are definitely not your close relatives), but if you can not marry other women due to economical or other reasons, then content yourself with the maids you already have}}
+{{quote ||If you want to have sexual intercourse with the orphans of your maids, but the possibility of that orphan being your own child scares you; then  marry other women as many as you need (because they are definitely not your close relatives), but if you can not marry other women due to economical or other reasons, then content yourself with the maids you already have}}
 For Qur'an, it is safe to say that no ayah revealed for any single person other than Muhammad or his close friends, wives, relatives or his arch enemies etc. let alone an anonymous person who would not want to pay mahr would require an ayah.
