Draft:Mahramiyat by Marriage

From wikishia


Mahramiyat by Marriage (Arabic: مَحرَمیت سَبَبی) is a relationship created through the contract of marriage,[1] intercourse by mistake (wat' al-shubha),[2] or adultery between a man and a woman and some of their relatives,[3] as well as through looking at or touching a concubine.[4] This concept is known in jurisprudential books under the title "musahara" (affinity).[5]

Rulings and Instances of Mahramiyat by Marriage:

  • Eternal Prohibition: Marrying those who are mahram through marriage, such as the mother-in-law, is eternally forbidden.[6]
  • Marriage Restrictions: Marrying the wife's sister (as long as her sister is in his marriage or is alive)[7] and also marrying the wife's niece (daughter of her brother or sister) without her permission is not permissible.[8]
  • Looking: Looking at those who are mahram through marriage and the revealing of their ornaments to them is permissible.[9]
  • Inheritance: Mahramiyat by marriage is considered one of the causes of inheritance that is established through the contract of marriage.[10]
