The son's wife is not forbidden to his mother's husband, and it is permissible for him to marry her if the son divorces her with aninnah divorce and no other impediment exists.
It is stated in Kashshaf al-Qina' (Uncovering the Veil): "And the wife of his stepson becomes permissible for his mother's husband if he divorces her or if she is free from impediments."
