If the question is concerning the ruling on the marriage of a woman who has a child, there is no religious impediment to her marriage after childbirth, whether the child was born from a lawful marriage or from fornication.
If the child was born from a lawful marriage: A condition for the validity of her marriage is that she must not currently be married; rather, she must be divorced or widowed and her (waiting period) must have ended. If the child was born from fornication: Her repentance from fornication is required, and for the validity of the marriage contract, the permission of her guardian (wali) and the presence of witnesses are required.
