Types of Marriage
Issue No. 2024- The relation between a man and a woman becomes lawful (halal) by contracting marriage. There are two kinds of marriage:(i) Permanent marriage. In a permanent marriage, the period of matrimony is not fixed and it is forever. The woman with whom such a marriage is concluded is called “dā’imah” (permanent wife).(ii) Temporary marriage, which is a fixed-time marriage. In a fixed time marriage, the period of matrimony is fixed; the duration can be short or long. This sort of fixed time marriage is called Mut‘ah.
