Can I Marry the Uncle of My Ex-husband?
As-salamu `alaykum, I am a non-Muslim US woman, baptized as a Christian. I was divorced from a Sunni Muslim Jordanian-American man. the divorce was his choice; he is younger, and he decided that he wanted children a few years after marriage, and I was unable due to my age. Now I would potentially be interested in marrying my ex-husband's uncle. he is a single, practicing Sunni Muslim living in Jordan and is about my age. Is this permissible in some way according to the law of the Qur'an or would it be haram for him? Does it make a difference that I am not a Muslim and my former marriage was civil (not held in a religious ceremony)? Jazakum Allahu khayran
