Basically, yes. There were two impediments to marriage: consanguinuity(blood relationship) and affinity (legal relationship). Nowadays, only consanguinuity causes a marriage impediment, but in the mediæval period, affinity was equally problematic. See the run-up to Tilde and Diniz's marriage (SoG).
Thank you so much! This is very helpful.
