Marriage of al-Musyar does not fulfill all the objectives of the marriage contract

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a man marries and only the woman's family knows about his marriage, which is what he calls marriage of al-Musyar, and he holds a wedding feast specifically for the woman's family, is such a marriage contract permissible?

Answer:
Marriage of al-Musyar is an innovation. It does not contain the objectives of the marriage contract; it contains only intercourse. It does not include providing for the woman, it does not include financial maintenance for the woman, and it does not include authority over the woman. This occurred when women became employed and started working, and they did not want to be bound to the husband. It is a recent phenomenon. It is not a complete marriage. It is lawful, but it is not a complete marriage, and the benefits of marriage do not follow from it: neither authority over the woman, nor her protection, nor does she become his property, going out and coming in as she pleases. This is not acceptable. Yes.
