"He has chosen daughters in preference to sons"!64
  - Mohammad Asad

Cf. 6:100 ("they have invented for Him sons and daughters") and the corresponding notes [87] and [88]. See also note [49] on 17:40 , as well as {53:19-22} and the corresponding notes.

Would He choose daughters rather than sons?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Has He chosen daughters over sons?1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Both sexes are equal before Allah, so the verse questions pagan chauvinism.

(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons? 4131
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

There is the strongest irony in this passage.
