and
yet under Muslim Law you can get married for 15mins,
Nikah mut'ah[1][2] Arabic: نكاح المتعة,
romanized:
nikāḥ al-mutʿah, literally "pleasure marriage"; temporary marriage
[3]: 1045 or
Sigheh[4] (
Persian: صیغه ، ازدواج موقت) is a private and verbal temporary
marriage contract that is practiced in
Twelver Shia Islam[5] in which the duration of the marriage and the
mahr must be specified and agreed upon in advance.
[1][6][7]: 242
[8]: 47–53 It is a private contract made in a verbal or written format. A declaration of the intent to marry and an acceptance of the terms are required as in other forms of
marriage in Islam.

According to
Shia Muslims, Muhammad sanctioned
nikah mut'ah (fixed-term marriage, called muta'a in
Iraq and sigheh in
Iran), which has instead been used as a legitimizing cover for sex workers in a culture where prostitution is otherwise forbidden. Some Western writers have argued that mut'ah approximates prostitution.
[10]
Some sources say the Nikah mut'ah has no prescribed minimum or maximum duration,
[11] but others, such as
The Oxford Dictionary of Islam, indicate the minimum duration of the marriage is debatable and durations of at least three days, three months or one year have been suggested.
[1]
Some Muslims and
Western scholars have stated that both Nikah mut'ah
[12] and
Nikah misyar[13] are Islamically void attempts to religiously sanction
prostitution which is otherwise forbidden.
[14] The
Zaidi Shia reject
Mutah marriage.[
