Can I marry my uncle’s ex wife?
ASWK,
Hi My mom's brother(Mamu), divorced his wife (having one daughter 2years) to marry his Ex girfriend.
Since she is divorced can I marry her, as she is good in nature and it is my mamu mistake. He left her for his girfriend.
If Yes then please advice, what all we need to do before marriage.
My family is not in support with me. But I dont wnt her life to be spoilt.
Thanks,
Salamwalaikum.

Salaams,
I could be wrong, but I believe if there is no blood connection between you and his ex-wife it would be permissible for you to marry. I imagine that your family has reservations about it because it is an akward situation, but it sounds as if this lady was wronged by your uncle's choice and deserves to be redeemed by another man taking her as a wife and treating her and her daughter with respect and kindness. If you are willing to be the one, then the procedure for actually marrying her would be the same as it would for any woman.

Can someone answer this questions for me pls.... If for 'ISTANCE' am in love with a girl with intention of marriage, unfortunately my father wanted to marry the girl's mother and i dont know of this plan (i dont even know where and how they even meet)... Suddenly my dad told me he's getting married to a woman and i later realise that she is my fiancy's mother.. In this case, can i marry my fiancy if my father married her mother???,,, what if after marriage they both divorced after a while, can i still marry the girl, seeing that her mother was once a wife to my father ??? Pls someone should give the answers asap,, but believe me am not the one in this condition. lol .. I just wanted my typing to be easier that's why i presented it this way. lol!
If a man has a son and wants to marry a woman who has a daughter (or a woman with a son and a man with a daughter, same thing), they can get married and their children, although they will be step brother and sister, can also get married as they are still non mahram because they share no biological link. So yes it would be halaal for them to marry each other.
You can marry the daughter, regardless of whether your father remains married to the mother or has divorced her however, you can never marry someone who is or has been (Even if divorced now) your step mother/father.
According to Qura'an,
if a man marries a woman then their children which are step brother-sister, those children cannot marry,
please read Qura'an and consult a scholar,
do not make your own Faith

Khurram,
If you know this is not allowed please provide references. From what I see he is allowed to marry the daughter while his father marries the mother. This is my reference and I don't see his case being prohibited. If you have a reference in the Quran please provide it.
This is covered here:
https://legacy.quran.com/4/22-25
And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah ] and was evil as a way.
Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Ela é oito anos mais velha do que eu, sou apaixonado por ela, nossos netos me amam, eu os amo, acredito ser coisa de Deus com um destino preparado antes desta vida. Assim, temos orgulho de nosso relacionamento. Quero viver esta vida até o último minuto ao lado dela, respeitando-a e amando-a. Somos muito felizes.
Here's a translation of Luciano's comment, courtesy of Google Translate:

Salaam brother. What about the daughter your uncle had? She is your cousin? It's a bit of complex one, might be best to speak to your local imam or a local mosque. Inshallah, all works out but I am sure that this will cause lots of problems for you with your family members. May Allah guide us all.
Wsalaam.

No, he is your uncle. It is forbidden to marry him.

In my humble understanding the reason behind forbidden relatives is biological link. It can be created in 3 ways: 1) by birth e.g., mother, sister, daughter, aunt paternal and maternal both, and siblings offspring 2) by wet nursing or breastfeeding eg., wet nurse is called "Umm min al-rad'ah, and sister " Ukht min al-rad'ah" 3) when spouses have sex (that creates biological link obviously) e.g., step daughters become prohibited if you have sex with their mothers; it created a biological link or chain; so the step daughter now becomes prohibited for marriage.
Second thing is that in Islamic jurisprudence 'Abaa plural of Ab or father' is not only used for fathers but it includes Uncles and grandfathers too.
Now when your uncle had established biological link with her, she becomes prohibited for you that is why the people who have been exempted from veiling include "Abnaa ba'l or sons of husbands from other wives plus his nephews from sisters and brothers as they're also regarded his sons.
But if your uncle divorced her before consummating it I.e., without having sex. Then you can marry that woman.
Here it won't be useless to point out that once the biological link/relation has been established in any of the 3 above ways, it can't be reversed. And even if they divorce or get widowed they won't be permissible for marriage. Cf: don't marry the women whom your fathers married. It is indeed shameful and sinful thing. Surah Al-Nisaa (I don't remember the exact number of verse, but that is the last verse of 4th juz of the Holy Quran).
Similar is the opposite case when the real son or nephew divorces a woman, that won't be permissible, as mentioned later in the verse of Al-Nisaa where prohibited relations were mentioned. " prohibited are the divorced wives of your real sons or in the words of Quran "sons from your loins'. The verse begins from the phrase " Don't marry the women whom your fathers married " as stated earlier fathers include paternal and maternal uncles plus grandfathers. Note the eloquence of the verse and God's wisdom! The verse starts from fathers and end with sons.
