Can a woman marry a man in Paradise other than her earthly husband if she feared God in this world?
Marital life is a bond based on sincerity and affection. Allah has permitted a man to marry more than one woman, unlike a woman. A wife must be sincere to her husband, as attaching her heart to someone else is a sin and betrayal. If the spouses enter Paradise and the wife was righteous, she will be his wife in Paradise, based on the Almighty's saying: "Gardens of perpetual residence, which they will enter, and [also] those who acted righteously among their fathers, and their spouses, and their offspring." And His saying: "Enter Paradise, you and your spouses, in happiness." If a woman married more than one man and they all entered Paradise, the preponderant opinion is that she will be with her last husband. This is why the wives of the Prophet were forbidden from marrying after him. A woman should focus on righteous deeds and a sound heart to attain Paradise.
