Nikāḥ al-Mut‘ah, Nikah el Mut'a (Arabic: نكاح اÙ,,Ù...تعة‎, also Nikah Mut‘ah [literally, "marriage of pleasure"), or sighah, is a fixed-time marriage which, according to the  Usuli Shia schools of Shari‘a (Islamic law),  is a marriage with a preset duration, after which the marriage is automatically dissolved. It has many conditions that can be considered as pre-requisite, similar to that of permanent marriage. It is the second form of Islamic marriage (Nikah). However, it is regarded as haram (prohibited) by Sunnis. This is a highly controversial fiqh topic; Sunnis and Shi‘a hold diametrically opposed views on its permissibility.
