The aya says:
Was forbidden for you (plural) your mothers and your daughters and your sisters and the sisters of your fathers and the sisters of your mothers and the daughters of your brothers and the daughters of your sisters and your mothers who breast fed you, and your sisters from breast feeding and the mothers of your wives and the daughters of your wives, with whom you consummated, so if you have not consummated, then there is no tilt to error. And the spouses of your children who are from your back bone, and that you bring together the two sisters, except what already happened. Indeed Allah is forgiving, merciful.

My personal note:
This Aya mentions the different women a man cannot marry. It includes the women who breastfed the man and his sisters in that breastfeeding. It also includes the daughters of the wives if the marriage was consummated, but no prohibition if the marriage was not consummated.

The Aya ends up with saying that if the act already happened without the person knowing those prohibitions, then Allah is forgiving and merciful.
