Some rules regarding mahrams and ghayr mahrams (non-mahrams) Theoretically, a Muslim womans mahrams form the group of allowable escorts when she travels. An adopted brother (adopted sister) of a woman (man) is ghayr mahram to her (him) and they can marry each other. The term adopted means those children who are adopted by ones parents for the purpose of providing shelter and upbringing and who do not fall under the relationships outlined under the section Who is mahram? above. Except for the spouse, being mahram is a permanent condition. That means, for example, that a man will remain mahram to his ex-mother-in-law after divorcing her daughter. One is ghayr mahram to ones ex-spouse. One must not stay with a ghayr mahram in seclusion where none of their mahrams is present (see also proxemics). If wives of a man each become a rada mother of a child, all children and all rada mothers will be mahram to each other. --(Wikipedia)
