*SweetY* wrote:i wanted to know if muta can be carried out just between the two people with no witnesses?You sure do have lively questions. According to me the answer to your first question is no, that it is not necessary to have witnesses to a marriage contract, however I am not entirely sure about this. I deduced this from Ayatullah Syed Seestani’s Taudhiul Masae’l ruling number 2372 and 2378 (i.e. parties to a marriage contract can recite the marriage formulae themselves with no mention of witnesses). On your second question, yes mahr is necessary but it need not be adequate nor sufficient (but don’t use this as your intention as a precautionary measure). Please also do refer to ruling number 2385 and 2386 (inter alias).
Is mahr necessary?
When two people decide to do Mut'ah, do they have to be face to face during the procedure. Can it be done over the phone or any other source of communication?

Ok, i knw quite a weird question :?Hmm no money but wants to get married…why is it that this situation rings a bell I see no problem in the use of a loan to pay mahr as long as there’s an intention to pay it back but there again I am no marja so would advise you seek another opinion as-well.

*SweetY* wrote:What is soo wrong in 'such behaviour'? Maybe weird questions but could be helping some one in such a situation!Indeed I fully concur, and agree these are the issues facing today’s youth which aren’t being addresses by the community and the mimbar to a certain extent. But the ‘Khoja’ community frown upon such behaviour even if is legalised by the Jaffery school of thought… :?
