The Difference Between 'Urfi Marriage and Musiyaar Marriage

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a conflict between the explicit marriage and the casual marriage?

Answer:
'Urfi marriage is interpreted as one that has not been registered with the courts; it contains the offer and acceptance, the guardian, and the conditions and pillars of the contract, but it has not been registered with the court or with the court registrar. This is permissible if that is the intention and if that is what we hear. As for musiyaar marriage, it is asked about regarding the contract, the pillars of the contract, and the conditions of the contract; it is a valid marriage. However, regarding the purposes of marriage, it does not have the purposes of marriage.
It does not contain the husband’s authority over the wife, nor the father’s upbringing of his children, nor do they support their mother. It does not contain the woman living with her husband or the man living with his wife.
And of His signsوَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ
[Ar-Rum 30:21]
And of His signs is
that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in themأَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا
[Ar-Rum 30:21]
that He created for you spouses. There is no tranquility in it, and he does not see her except for the passing of the time of animal need only. This is not marriage; the benefits of marriage do not result from it. Yes.
