33) The technical word for temporary marriage is mut'ah. It is derived from mata meaning profiting for a long time. Mut'ah is considered to be a legal form of marriage by the Shi'ahs, but the vast majority of the Muslim community rejects it in the basis of this hadith quoted here. The Holy Quran uses the word ihsan (lit. being inaccessible) for marriage, and thus looks upon marriage as a permanent relation which can be cut off only by divorce. For all of the kinds of sexual relationship it uses the word safah, which signifies fornication. According to some hadith, mut'ah was allowed by the Holy Prophet in a war. Even if this be true, it may have been allowed at an earlier stage, reform having been brought about gradually, but there is not the least doubt that it was finally disallowed. 34) This is the general practice, but as the next hadith shows, one goat sufficed in the case of a boy as well. It is only for those who can afford it. |
