[quote]Your interpretation is erroneous. You said:

" ALLAH only suggested that you already do multiple marriages, so for the upbringing of orphans you can marry their mothers"

This is not true. The verse in question allows the guardians of the orphans to marry the orphans, 1,2,3,or 4. The verse is not talking about the mothers of the orphans. Please consult other tafsirs to verify.

The orphan guardians in those times (probably now also) used to devour the wealth of the orphans. They would keep orphans with them as a pretext for keeping their wealth. Moreover they would not allow the orphan to get married as that would mean loss of the orphan's wealth. The verses in the Quran are a clear directive to the guardian to:

1-not steal the wealth of the orphan under any pretext
2-not prevent the orphan's marriage when they reach maturity and when proposals come.
3-if the guardian fears that he may misuse the orphan's wealth (i.e. use it for his own personal use or mix it with his own wealth), then the guardian should legally marry the orphan. Because there is stricker penality with Allah if you even accidentally misuse orphan's wealth than if you accidentally misuse your spouse's wealth. (This does not mean misusing someone's wealth is ok).

Please read the passage in the Quran again, it does not talk about marrying the orphan's mother, but it talks about marrying the orphan.
