What is a temporary marriage in Islam?

[Anonymous]

The guy I've been dating keeps saying he wants us to be in a temporary marriage.
I think the way he described it to me isn't what it actually means an likely he is taking advantage.

Does a temporary marriage lead to a relationship?

In some Muslim areas, sex outside of marriage is illegal and so men have to get a "temporary marriage license" when they want to get a prostitute. Basically he sees you as a prostitute and wants to have sex with you, but has no intention of actually marrying you.

Marriage is a lasting covenant since Adam and Eve. Moses handed down the option to divorce your spouse, but that was only because of the hardness of the Israelites hearts.

A temporary marriage is immoral and a sham.

Yes they take advantage of women that way, many who underage, they also try to fool god.
