A Muslim male has married his son's divorced wife. According to Mulla's Principles of Mahomedan Law, what type of marriage is this?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under Muslim law, a man is permanently prohibited on the ground of affinity (musaharat) from marrying his ascendants' or descendants' wives, including his son's wife even after divorce or the son's death. Because a marriage violating a permanent prohibition of affinity is utterly unlawful from the outset, it is void (batil).
