Marriage

Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally and often legally recognised union between people called spouses. It establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children (if any), and between them and their in-laws. It is nearly a cultural universal, but the definition of marriage varies between cultures and religions, and over time.

Temporary marriage is conducted in the modern era just like permanent marriage is conducted with slight differences between the temporary and permanent marriage. Both types of marriage need agreement between both man and woman, woman should not be presently married or during Iddah period. Mahr (Dowry) is must from the man to the woman. Permanent marriage end on valid divorce or death, while temporary marriage ends in the end of the agreed period of it or by leaving the remaining period by the husband.

'In temporary marriage, both man and woman agree on a period of the marriage as well as the Mahr of the marriage. She tell him: Zawwajtoka Nafsi ALAL Mahril Ma'loom lilmuddatil Ma'loomah. He replies her: Qabiltu Al-Tazweej LINAFSI lilmuddatil Ma'loomah ALAL Mahril Ma;loom.

If she meets the rights requirements of what Islam wants you to look for in a spouse, and there is compatibility between the two of you, and family members are all ok, you should marry her. 

Yes, she went through a divorce, but it should not make her any less desirable for you to marry. She could have gone through a test in her life, and as long as she carries the religious values and akhlaq you should looking for, then that is very good.

From a shar'i perspective, it would depend on if she meets the requirements for a shar'i legitimate marriage. 

However, this approach such a husband takes is definitely inappropriate and morally wrong, especially among all things breaking a promise. 

If the husband is that uncomfortable in his first marriage, he should not drag her into the humiliation of lies and deception to fulfill his needs, and should be honest and straightforward with her.

Sayyid . Marriage
Is Hadith 4382 from "Man-layahzarahu-al-faqih" authentic regarding an Imam saying "our daughters are for our sons and our sons are for our daughters", commonly used to prohibit a Syeda from marrying a non-Syed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi is originally from Iraq and heads up the World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League in London. Other than being involved in various humanitarian projects, he frequently responds to... Answer updated 2 anni fa

The correct Hadeeth No. is 4384 in the book "Manla Yahdharuhul Faqeeh", Volume 3, Page 393 does not prohibit marriage between any Sayyeda with any non-Sayyed, as it is very clear in the next Hadeeth No. 4385, which clearly states that marriage between believers is permissible without the condition of being Sayyed or non-Sayyed. The Hadeeth number 4384 should be read completely, it states that the Prophet (peace be upon Him and his holy progeny) looked at the children of Ali and Jaffar and said: Our daughters are for our sons and our sons are for our daughters. It means that this narration was talking about the direct children of Imam Ali and his real brother Jaffar. The Proohet (SAWA) wanted the daughters of Jaffar Ibn AbiTalib (AS) to marry the sons of Imam Ali (AS) as it is narrated from Imam Al-Ridha (AS) in the book Fiqh Al-Richa

Our great Ulama have gone through all the authentic narrations from Ahlul Bayt (AS)  and gave clear verdict that marriage between Mo'min and Mo'mina is permissible without the condition of the caste. Our great Sayyid Ulama have given their daughters for marriage with non-Sayyed believers which is a practical evidence that it is permissible.

Muslim man is allowed to marrying a Muslim woman according to Shariah without the permission of his parents but virgin Muslim girl needs the permission of her father or paternal grandfather for her marriage.

In certain cases when permission is denied or rejected by the father for invalid reasons then she can go ahead with marriage to save herself from sin. 
If the girl with whom you want to marry had not been married before but she is sure that her father would refuse your proposal for invalid reason according to Islamic standards, then she can go ahead with the marriage. Wassalam.
