Definition of Mamzer

What is the definition of mamzer?

Answer:

A mamzer is a person who is born of a forbidden marital relationship, where the degree of the prohibition is a degree of Torah arayos.

For instance, a child born of a relationship between a married woman and a man (not her husband), or from other Torah mandated forbidden relationships, is a mamzer.

Best wishes.
