Fathwa, - The wife of one's father-in-law is not a Mahram

Question
If my father-in-law is married to a woman other than my wife's mother,
is she considered a Mahram to me?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
The wife of your father-in-law is not a Mahram )non-marriageable
relative( to you, merely by being your father-in-law's wife, as she is
not your wife's mother. You are permitted under the Sharee'ah to marry
her, even while still being married to your present wife, as long as
there is no other impediment under Sharee'ah, as in the case when she
is your wife's maternal aunt.
Allaah Knows best.
