Who Is a Mahram in Islam?

Al-Jumuah Magazine Issue 5
Any woman with whom a man has a relationship (of blood or fosterage) that precludes marriage, is considered a Mahram to him.
Mahram women include his mother, grandmother, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, grandaunt, niece, grandniece, his father's wife, his wife's daughter, his mother-in-law, his foster mother (the one who nursed him), foster sisters, and any foster relatives that are similar to the above mentioned blood relatives as the Prophet (SAW) said, "What is forbidden by reason of kindship is forbidden by reason of suckling." (Al-Bukhari)
These are considered Maharim because Allah (SWT) mentioned them in the Holy Qur'an: "And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way. Forbidden 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 foster mother who gave you suck, your foster milk suckling sisters, your wives' mothers, your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom you have go in - but there is no sin on you if you have not gone in them (to marry their daughters), - the wives of your sons who (spring) from your own loins, and two sisters in wedlock at the same time, except for what has already passed; verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (An-Nisa 4:22-23)
All the man's female relatives mentioned in these two verses are considered his Maharim, because it is unlawful (haram) for him to marry them, except the wife's sister mentioned last, who is not a Mahram because he can marry her if he divorces her sister, or if she dies. Reciprocally, if a woman is a Mahram to a man, such as her brother, her father, her uncle, etc. then he is a Mahram to her. All other relatives are considered non-Maharim and they fall under the category of strangers to her, except one's wife or husband who is also called Mahram.

message: This is quite simple. The father of the mother of the grandmother (but not of the grandfather!) of the cousin of the niece of the grandson of the cousin of the neighbor of the daughter is allowed (or not?!) to travel in company of the uncle of the brother (but not the sister!) of the chief of the harem. Or not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vatavr (talk • contribs) 09:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I am about to Wikify the article to conform to MOS:Ety, for most of the article mahram is correctly italicised but there are several places where it is not, and also I will de-capitalize it where it is capitalized as it is not a proper noun. I noted that the article says that there is no upper-case / lower-case distinction in Arabic and in the article it is mostly lower-case. Captain Screebo (talk) 14:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I want to explain one confusion. There is difference between persons from which purdah is not obligatory and with whom one cannot marry. Women are ordered to hide their private from everyone except their husbands and put their scarves over their bosoms. That is listed in Al-Quran 24:31.
The women are ordered to hide their adornments except from
* husbands
* ancestors
* husbands' ancestors
* descendants
* husbands' descendants
* siblings
* descendants of siblings
* Muslim women
* bond women whom they own
* male servants free of sexual desire
* children which have yet no carnal knowledge
The people with whom a man  cannot marry are different that are given in Al-Quran 4:23.  They are following
* ancestors' spouse
* ancestors
* desendents
* siblings 
* ancestors'siblings
* siblings' descendants
* foster female  ancestors
* foster sibling
* spouse's ancestor
* spouse's descendants (if marriage was consummated)
* descendents' spouse
* two sisters at the same time. 
There is difference between purdah and marriage. For example women cannot marry but have to do purdah such as
* ancestors' male sibling
* foster brother
* descendents' male spouse
* ancestors' male spouse
Similarly a women can marry  a child when he has grown but don't need to hide her adornments during his childhood provided  she is not his foster mother, as she cannot marry her foster son.. And so on.

thread_title:  Purdah and marriage 

message: The verse cited in the article is wrong. 4:22 of Koran. Have a look at HTTPS://Quran.com/4/23 The whole article was based on it thereby provide wrong information. So I have improved the article.
