Temporary marriage(s)

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Temporary marriages are allowed in Islam, while dating isn’t.
can be used exclusively for the aim of having sex.

You are someone who believes dating is haram and one shouldn’t. If you like someone, instead of dating, would you enter in temporary marriage?

Lahori, do you have any reference? AS far as I know, marriage with the intention of breaking it, is not right in the first place.

Roza tu nahi lagh raha?

I think these temporary marriages are allowed for Shias, not Sunnis.

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

i always thought the quran strictly prohibits muttah,misyar whether it's sunni or shia, there are no ifs, ands, buts about it. that was my understanding of it when asking learned muslims

Sex is not allowed because of its bi-products.
If you notice islam allow sex right after shaadi, so its not against sex, at all.

Now temp marriages have rules too, you are responsible for her just as you would be for your wife.
If she get pregnant your child inherit share of your wealth etc etc

So islam wants to you to take care of your actions, and want to stop from making mess.
Thats about it.

I don't know if it's allowed or not but I like the idea ;)

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

even if the quran allowed it, which i was pretty sure it didn't at all, how would it benefit the girl in all this?

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

1-because girls have needs too.
2-they don't get into those relations where they end up taking care of child by them selves.

etc etc

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

girls definitely have needs just like men but why not just get married.........

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

talak it self is so disliked by ALLAH AND HIS NABI(s.a.w)
so it cant be allowed as the poster said.

I don't know ... I am not Einstein.
But the option is there.

Its like gf/bf but with clearly defined rules. That marriage is, isn't it?

12

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

I guess if you guys are referring to mutah then an Ijma' was made during Hazrat Omar R.A reign and it was decided that its not allowed ANYMORE. You can find lots of material in which it is clearly mentioned that it is not allowed

However, some sects of ahl-e-tash'eeh still follow it ..

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

Where? I want to join those sects :D

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

There are sporadic reports in Indian media about rich Arabs coming to Hydrabad, contacting corrupt qazis, getting married with a poor teenage girl in exchange for money (meher), shacking up with her in a Hotel for a couple of weeks, divorcing her, and then flying back to Home Sweet Home.

Sometimes they marry more than one girls at the same time.

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

from what i know, the whole concept of mutaa was made halaal to prevent prostitution and therefore illegitimate children, STDs, etc. in the times
when soldiers were off to war and couldn't actually marry long-term but neither had the patience to wait til they got back home.
it just kinda puts a bit of responsibility on the man's conscience while allowing them to have a halal way out.

i'm pretty sure there is no legitimate excuse for mutaa in today's age when a simple flight can get you from any war zone to back home with
your wife within hours. rich people all over the world use their power to break rules and get away with it. rich arabs are no exception.

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

@pkgrl000 yes, as i mentioned earlier. An ijma' has made according to which muta'' is not jaiz anymore

17

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

guys, Muttah is valid in relation to religion context only when there is a War for Islam. and clearly there is no such war happening any where in the world. so the concerns are quite illegitimate.

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

i personally don't know much about this particular topic. I was going to add more to my original question but wasn't too sure where this post would fit: relationship or religion section.

Aren't temporary marriage(s) based on contract where no divorce is necessary. I believe there is no time limit either. Reason i bought this up was why are we allowed temporary marriage(s) but dating is not allowed..
you can have temporary marriage for a day and sleep with someone, how is that any different from random 1 night stand?? Something isn't adding up for me..

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

yes, i believe you are right

Re: Temporary marriage(s)

I still have to find a shia who actually practices this temp marriage.
