What is Muta (Mut'a) marriage in Muslim law? This short Law Easy lecture explains the essentials of a fixed-term marriage, including the agreed period and mahr (dower), who may enter it, and what happens when it ends.
The lecture contrasts the Sunni and Ithna Ashari Shia approaches. It discusses expiry of the agreed term, death, hiba-i-muddat (gift of the remaining period), dower before and after consummation, the position of children and inheritance, and maintenance as addressed in the video. Use it for focused LL.B. Family Law and law university exam revision.
