Wikipedia
Mahram
In Islam, a mahram is a family member with whom marriage would be considered permanently unlawful (haram). One's spouse is also a mahram. A woman does not need to wear hijab around her mahram, and an adult male mahram may escort a woman on a journey, although an escort may not be obligatory.

mahram
A mahram refers to a male family member who is considered legally or culturally unmarriageable and, therefore, constitutes a barrier to potential marriage or any form of physical or emotional intimacy. These male relatives, typically identified in Islamic and other traditional societies, include a woman's father, brother, son, paternal and maternal uncles, etc. Their presence ensures protection, guidance, and support for women in various personal and public settings, particularly within the context of social interactions and religious regulations.

Mahram
In Islamic sharia legal terminology, a mahram is an unmarriageable kin with whom sexual intercourse would be considered incestuous, a punishable taboo. Current usage of the term covers a wider range of people and mostly deals with the dress code practice of hijab. The plural form of the word in the Arabic language is maharim with long second vowel. Sometimes the word is capitalized but there is not a general consensus that the word should be capitalized like Muslim. Being mahram is a mutual condition. If A is mahram to B, B is definitely mahram to A.
