Return of the Right of Custody

1. If the mother lost the right of custody of her child by marrying a non-mahram of the child, but thereafter the man divorced her or died, then the right of the mother returns.
2. The child will now be handed into her custody and care.
3. This mas-alah applies to all those females as well who have the right of custody after the mother. See the articles: After the Mother and Sisters and Aunts in Custody of a Child.
