Marriage & Mut'ah
Marja
About this chapter
This chapter covers permanent nikah, mut'ah (temporary marriage), divorce and revocation, mahr, the iddah waiting period, and the categories of mahram (forbidden relations) including those by milk-foster relationships.
Mut'ah is, in Shia fiqh, a formal time-bound marriage with conditions as strict as permanent nikah — guardian's consent, mahr, and a specified duration are all required for validity.
