قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْجَارِيَةُ يُرِيدُ أَبُوهَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ وَ يُرِيدُ جَدُّهَا أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ الْجَدُّ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْأَبُ زَوَّجَهَا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ‌[3].

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a young girl whose father wishes to marry her to one man, while her grandfather wishes to marry her to another man. Imam (as) said: "The grandfather has more right in this matter if the father has not already married her off before him."

إِذَا زَوَّجَ الْأَبُ وَ الْجَدُّ كَانَ التَّزْوِيجُ لِلْأَوَّلِ فَإِنْ كَانَا زَوَّجَا فِي حَالٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَالْجَدُّ أَوْلَى‌[4].

I heard Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) say: "I do not like for a Muslim man to marry a woman who would be a co-wife to his mother, with someone other than his father."

Hadith.4436 - And it is narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn Ri'ab, from Abu Ubaydah Al-Hadhdha' that he said: I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: "A woman cannot be married alongside her paternal aunt, nor alongside her maternal aunt, nor alongside her sister through breastfeeding." Imam (as) also said: "Indeed,

لَا تَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى خَالَتِهَا وَ تُزَوَّجُ الْخَالَةُ عَلَى ابْنَةِ أُخْتِهَا[2].

"A woman cannot be married alongside her maternal aunt, but the maternal aunt can be married alongside the daughter of her sister."

لَا تُنْكَحُ ابْنَةُ الْأَخِ وَ لَا ابْنَةُ الْأُخْتِ عَلَى عَمَّتِهَا وَ لَا عَلَى خَالَتِهَا إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِمَا وَ تُنْكَحُ الْعَمَّةُ وَ الْخَالَةُ عَلَى ابْنَةِ الْأَخِ وَ ابْنَةِ الْأُخْتِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمَا[3].

"The daughter of a brother and the daughter of a sister cannot be married alongside their paternal or maternal aunt except with their permission. However, the paternal and maternal aunt can be married alongside the daughter of a brother or the daughter of a sister without requiring their permission."
