In Islam, there are specific individuals you cannot marry. These restrictions are outlined in the Quran and are based on principles of lineage, faith, and social harmony.
Prohibited Relatives
- Close Relatives: You cannot marry your direct blood relatives, including parents, siblings, children, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and their descendants.
- In-Laws: You cannot marry your in-laws, including your spouse's parents, siblings, children, and their descendants.
- Foster Parents: You cannot marry your foster parents or their children.
Other Prohibitions
- Non-Muslims: Muslims are generally prohibited from marrying non-Muslims. This is based on the belief that marriage should be between people who share the same faith and values.
- Women Already Married: You cannot marry a woman who is already married to another man.
- Men With Multiple Wives: While polygamy is permitted in Islam, a man can only marry up to four wives at a time, and only if he can treat them all fairly and equally.
These prohibitions are based on Islamic principles and are intended to protect family ties, promote social harmony, and ensure the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.
