In a temporary marriage with a married man, should I meet his sexual demands even though I haven't received my agreed-upon dowry? Is it fair that he only spends about 3 hours a week with me because of his responsibilities to his first wife and children?
Amina Inloes

Since temporary marriage does not have a fixed paradigm for how people live it out in daily life, you have to decide what is fair for you. As a wise person once said, if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer. 
Are there any Mujtahids who allow an independent virgin woman to marry without her father's permission?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Virgin girl does require in her marriage the permission of her father or her paternal grand father. If father and the paternal grand father refuse proposal of marriage with out valid Islamic reason when the proposal is from a Kof’ (Compatible believer) and the girl needs to marry to save herself from sin, then the condition of the father’s permission or paternal grand father’s permission will not remain. That is when the refusal of the father or his father is not based on a valid Islamic rules.

Wassalam.
If a Sayyeda girl commits Zina with a non-Syed boy and repents, can they marry later? Are Sayyeds considered superior in Islam or do they have different Sharia laws?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, she can marry. Why should she not be able to marry. She did haram, and repented. None of this has anything to do with her being a Seyyidah, and we all know that Islam does not give superiority to any race or group of people or person. The only person that is better than others is he/she with better piety.

And Allah knows best
What are some of the things I should discuss with a Sunni girl whom I wish to marry and settle down with?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should make sure that your future with her as a wife and mother of your children is peaceful and harmonious with out differences. She must know the main facts of Shia Islam based on the following if the Ahlul Bayt (AS) being the real successors of the Prophet (SAWA). Give her few books to read e.g Then I was guided by Dr Tijani, The Right Path by Sharafuddin, and websites like aqaed.com.

She need to understand the Shia faith from Shia sources and not from the opponents.

 Don't risk your future and your kids future in a marriage before being sure that it is based on full understanding and accepting the facts of Ahlul Bayt (AS).

‘Wassalam.
