Question:
I proposed to a daughter, then the engagement was annulled, and I married her mother. What is your view, Your Eminence? Is this lawful or forbidden?
Answer:
If a man proposes to a woman and then leaves the engagement, and then marries her mother, there is no harm. However, if the marriage contract was concluded with her, her mother becomes forbidden to him. But if the contract was not concluded and only the proposal took place, and then he left it and took the mother, there is no harm.
