This thread made me think of something (please don't move the question to the religion forum). If the wife has a stepchild with her husband, obviously the son is not her biological child. In the event the father dies, is the child her mehram or not? I'm not asking from a buri nazar perspective, but the interaction the two take for granted - like her not being required to wear hijab in front of her husband's son, would it be required after her husband's death?
And should something like this be considered when considering whether the husband should marry again?

because a woman cannot marry a father and a son (together or one after the other) that is why son of her husband and father of her husband are mehram to her (whether hubby is alive or dead).

Okay, for my edification, can a stepfather marry his stepdaughter (his wife's daughter from a previous marriage)after his wife has passed away? I remember a really old Pakistani drama (maybe it was Khuda ki Basti, don't remember) and the stepfather wanted to marry the stepdaughter.
And I promise, my intention is not to derail the thread or to bring in salacious questions, but these are just questions that came to me from the discussion.
you asked the same question by switching the gender .. A man cannot marry a woman and her daughter (together or separately). Now if the step-daughter was also his wife’s step-daughter (her previous hubby’s previous wife’s daughter) then I think he can.

I think if the husband has a stepdaughter (wife's daughter from previous marriage) and has consummated his marriage, then the stepdaughter becomes mahram. I'm not really sure about this but I don't think the mahram status would be revoked after the wife passes away.

No mehram status remains. Its in wife's sisters case that the status is valid only till wife is alive or still your wife. Once that marriage is over (because of divorce or wife's death) then husband can marry her sister, but never her daughter.
I know that dramas are not real. But I just remember the storyline in that drama with the stepfather and stepdaughter and that’s why I was confused - it just seemed weird that they would introduce an idea like that in such an old drama if there was a religious prohibition on it. Back then, the dramas were more realistic and socially relevant. I thought maybe your answer and the restriction on marriage was based on gender.

I'm sorry for my ignorance :(
You are right about that drama. That was little weird in that aspect.
