C Correct answer
Explanation

Under Muslim Law, marriage between persons related by fosterage (rada'at) is void (batil). Fosterage creates a permanent prohibition similar to blood relationships. A foster mother becomes haram (forbidden) for marriage, and her foster children also become prohibited for each other. This prohibition is absolute and the marriage is considered null and void from the beginning, not merely irregular (fasid).
