What is another word for temporary marriages?
Pronunciation: [tˈɛmpɹəɹˌɪ mˈaɹɪd͡ʒɪz] (IPA) 
Temporary marriages are a type of union that exists for a fixed period of time, often determined by the agreement of both parties involved. Though this practice is mostly seen in certain cultural and religious contexts, there are synonyms and alternative phrases used to describe temporary marriages. One common term is "Nikah Mut'ah," which is an Arabic term used by Shia Muslims to describe a temporary marriage. Other synonyms include "interim marriage," "limited duration marriage," "time-bound union," "short-term matrimony," or "contract marriage." While these phrases differ in their nuances, they all generally refer to relationships intended to last for a certain duration, rather than being open-ended commitments.
