Paying Zakat to the Son's Wife

Question
Is it permissible for a father to give his Zakat to his son's poor wife who is unemployed and in a very difficult financial situation?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to give zakat (charity) to the son's wife, and it is not permissible to give it to the descendants. And God knows best.
