Not to be confused with Maharam. This article is about a male social role in Islam. For adult female escort for unmarried women in Western tradition, see Chaperone (social).
In Islam, a mahram (Arabic: محرم) is a family member with whom marriage would be considered permanently unlawful (haram). A woman does not need to wear hijab around her mahram or spouse, and an adult male mahram or husband may escort a woman on a journey, although an escort may not be obligatory.[1]
