Are the husband's children from his new wife considered maharim to the woman he contracted marriage with but did not consummate, and then divorced her?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Once the father marries a woman, she becomes a forbidden relative () to his sons from other wives, and consummation of the marriage is not a condition for this. This differs from the case of a daughter, who only becomes forbidden to a man if he has consummated his marriage with her mother.
