As a student planning a Mut'a marriage, I am facing difficulties because the girl's father has denied permission by placing a very high Mahr and also wants her to finish her education first. In this context, is it allowed to proceed without his consent?

Bismihi ta'āla

Education is not an obstacle for marriage, and will not hinder a person in finishing their degree. However, why would you plan to do mut'ah. Why don't you marry her, and maybe postpone the wedding and moving in until both of you are ready. At least you will be halal to each other.

To answer your question, no, it is not allowed to proceed without his consent. Neither of you should even think about taking things into your own hands and doing things outside the conventional way of how people marry.

Consider all other options, and consult with respectful elders and scholars before you take any steps in this.

Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

What steps can I take to extend my Muta period, and do I need to recite the Sigha verse again to do so?

Bismihi ta'āla

If the time period is over, you must recite a new contract, with new time-period and new mahr.

If you still have some time left for the temporary contract (let's say2 days left), and you both decide to extend, the man frees the woman for the remaining period, then recite the new contract together.

Sayyid . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Is it permissible for an 18-year-old Sayed to enter into a Mutah with a Christian or Jewish girl who is not a virgin due to prior non-marital relationships?

If she was never married before, she still needs the permission of her father or paternal grand father. If her father or paternal grand father disagree for invalid reason, then has the right to decide for herself. If you have a Muslim wife, you need her permission to have a Mut’ah marriage with Christian or Jewish female.

Woman . Paradise . Life . Husband . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Would Mut'ah marriages be allowed in paradise? Would a woman who had multiple Mut'ah marriages be limited to having only one husband in paradise?

There are two opinions among the scholars in this matter. One opinion says: Yes, Mut’ah marriages will be allowed in Paradise because of the Quranic verse about Paradise: And It will have everything which is desired by anyone). (Sura 43, verse 71).

This opinion also says that woman who wants more than one husband will be allowed to have in Paradise more than one husband.

The other opinion says that the desires in Paradise will be different from the desires in this worldly life as the believers in Paradise will see the Truth which did not see in worldly life. All the desires in Paradise will be pure and noble, so no one in Paradise will desire something which is not noble. No believing woman in Paradise will desire more than one husband.

These are the two opinions and we leave the real answer to Allah (SWT) as we have not yet seen the Paradise and we pray to Allah (SWT) to Grant us the Paradise, then we will know the reality which we don't know in this world.
