yeah Brit,but i guess this type of marriage is typically concluded due to certain circumstances, where one or both partners can see why it might/should last only that long... and then again, if both agree, what’s the problem? No any side is forced to do it...Mutual agreement...
btw, I always wondered whether divorce is needed for the woman in order to perform the next temporary marriage (you remember this egyptian waitress who managed to marry 40 guys in 7 days or something like that?)?
