25. And whoever amongst you does not have the means to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of the believing handmaids (103) who are the possession of your right hand. And Allah knows your faith very well. You are all alike (in religion.) Therefore marry them (104) with the permission of their masters (105), and give them their dowries (106) according to the fair convention for bringing in marriage, being honorable, pure, and chaste, but neither for lust and not making lovers (107). And when they are wedded if they commit any act of indecency, then on them the punishment is half (108) of that of free women (109) This (permission of marriage) is for those among you who are afraid of adultery, but it is better for you to have patience (110).

This sûrah mainly describes about the rights of women (as its name implies), the law of inheritance, orphan care, lawful and unlawful marriage partners, and a demonstration of justice in verses 105-112. Later on, it transitions to cover striving for Allāh's cause as well as relations between Muslims and People of the Book; it culminates with a response to claims about Jesus's ( ﷺ ) crucifixion and divinity. This sûrah joins its predecessors and successors by bringing up the topic of hypocrisy – a recurring theme in many.
