The women who are forbidden are those who are your mahram (relatives one may not marry), such as your sisters and[An-Nisa 4:23] [An-Nisa 4:23], [An-Nisa 4:24] meaning married women, and [An-Nisa 4:24] regarding captives, her marriage contract with her disbeliever husband is annulled by captivity; her marriage contract with her disbeliever husband is annulled by captivity. Once she completes her waiting period, a Muslim may marry her. Yes. Also, a free man does not marry a slave woman unless he fears harm to himself. Likewise, a woman in her waiting period is not married during the waiting period. Likewise, it is not permissible to exceed four free wives; the limit of plural marriage is four wives. All of this is among the forbidden. Yes.
