Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If an adult sodomizes a boy and penetrates him even slightly, it is permanently forbidden for him to marry the mother of the sodomized boy, regardless of her status, his daughter, and his sister. There is no difference between biological and foster relations. It is also strongly recommended to apply this ruling if the sodomizer is not an adult or if the sodomized is not a boy.
Conclusion: It is obligatory to avoid marriage in this case.

Ayatollah al-Uzma Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If someone sodomizes a boy and penetrates him even slightly, it is permanently forbidden for him to marry the boy's mother, regardless of her status, his daughter, and his sister, with no difference between whether they are young or old or different. The mother, daughter, and sister of the sodomized are forbidden to the sodomizer, while the mother, daughter, and sister of the sodomizer are not forbidden to the sodomized, according to the stronger opinion.
Conclusion: A ruling of prohibition in this case.

Ayatollah al-Uzma Sheikh Wahid Khorasani (may God protect him):
If someone sodomizes a boy and penetrates him, it is permanently forbidden for him to marry the boy's mother, regardless of her status, and his sister and daughter, regardless of their status, although if they were previously contracted, they would not be forbidden, though it is recommended to avoid marriage. There is ambiguity regarding the general ruling for the sodomizer if he is young or if the sodomized is old, and the more apparent opinion is that it is not forbidden, but it is obligatory to avoid marriage.
Conclusion: It is obligatory to avoid marriage in this case.

Ayatollah al-Uzma Sheikh Ismail Fayyad (may God protect him):
If a man plays with a boy and penetrates him, it is permanently forbidden for him to marry the boy's mother, regardless of her status, and his sister and daughter, regardless of their status, according to the more apparent opinion. There is no difference between biological and foster relations, and if they were previously contracted, they would not be forbidden, though it is preferable to avoid marriage. There is ambiguity regarding the general ruling for the sodomizer if he is young or if the sodomized is old, regardless of whether the sodomizer is young or old, and the more apparent opinion is that it is not forbidden. The daughter of the sodomized's sister and the daughter of his brother are not forbidden to the sodomizer, nor is the mother, daughter, or sister of the sodomizer forbidden to the sodomized.
Conclusion: He is not forbidden to marry in this case.
