The answer

The verse: (Or [is it she] who is brought up among ornaments and in dispute is not clear?) came in the context of reproaching the disbelievers for attributing offspring to Allah, and their choice of the more imperfect of the two children—the female—who is brought up adorned to compensate for her physical shortcomings, and who cannot make her case clear in a dispute due to her weakness and deficient intellect.
