Marrying during Iddat

Question:

Can a woman get married during her Iddat?

Reply:

Marrying a woman in Iddat

Iddat is a delay or an interval of time that a woman must observe when her husband gave her Talaaq or when her husband passed away. During this interval, she has neither the right to marry anyone nor does anyone have the right to propose her for marriage. She does not have the right to promise to marry someone also. If someone married a woman who is still in Iddat, the Nikah is not valid.
