Sin . Mahram
Is it permissible to joke with Mahrams in a public setting, provided there is no concern of wrongdoing and the jokes remain appropriate?

Mahrams are those men who can see you with out Hijab like your husband, father, son, uncles, son in law, father in law etc.

Non Mahram are those men who are not allowed to see you with out Hijab.

Talking to Non Mahram should be limited to necessary matters and not to involve unnecessary talking or jokes. Even if you have no bad intention in your heart, but you can not know what is in the heart of the other non Mahram person when you joke with them.

We have in a Hadeeth from the Prophet (SAWA) that unnecessary talks with non Mahram harms your heart and makes it like dead تميت القلب.

When Ghusl is obligatory for any reason including sinful acts, it remains obligatory till Ghusl is been performed. All Prayers and fasts which were performed with out Ghusl must be made up as Qadha.

If you are not sure about the exact numbers of days or prayers , you must take the number which is confirmed and make it up. Making more days up is a precaution.

It would not be classified as a sin, but Islam does strongly encourage having children, and therefore, one must strive as much as they can to conceive children, and multiple children as well. By natural means, or medical, as long as all shar'i requirements are observed.

Father is not allowed to reject his daughter's marriage with a compatible believer when she wants to save herself from sin, just because of a cultural reason which is never a condition in Sharia.

You need to face your sinful desires by your strong will. Sinning is the result of weakness in front of Shaitan and sinful desires. Stopping sinning depends on your will power when you decide to avoid the way of hellfire. Imam Al-Sadiq (AS) said: No one will be weak when his will power is strong.
