- Description
- Within Islam, a temporary marriage generally implies a short-term marriage between a man and a woman that does not come with a long-term commitment and may or may not have an explicit, pre-established timeline or endpoint. The partial religious legitimation of temporary marriage via Islamic fatwas has recently revived the institution. This paper aims to answer how, and under what conditions, temporary marriage can be either exploitative or liberating for individual women.
