there is no such thing as orfi marriage..

Any marriage under islamic jurisprudance that satisfies these 3 criterion is a lawfull marriage in the eyes of God..Whether or not it is registered in the " state record" is a " legal" issue, not a " religious" issue

1) Exchange of affirmation that both parties do indeed want to be married to each other

2) At least 2 whitnesses

3) A gift( dowery ) from the man to the woman of any size..

ideally a marriage should be publicised , but should " special circumstances" of the couple ( or by mutual concent) they agree that it is better to not publicise it, it doesnt make it any less lawfull in the eyes of God.

It is very different than having an affair in so far as the " wife" enjoying all her marital rights ( except those she willingly releases the man from", and should she get pregnant, the man has an obligation to accept his fatherhood of the child and provide for the child and the mother..

I think orfi marriage is similar to the "Mutaa" practiced by many in the region..

Personally, I think its a means of easing ones concience reagrding affairs or buying se**al favours..

Never heard of it here... I think all kids who want to be married tell their parents who don't mind paying the expenses.

I got married when I was still a student, so did my brother.

Orfi as practiced in egypt also means unregistered marriage, I think all marriages in Qatar are registered, even when it's a married man who marries a second wife in secret (from his wife), it is registered and most of his male friends usually know about it.

The secret marriage

Its actually common mistake between egyptians to calling it "Orfi",,This kind of marriage almost prevalent in general between 2 kind of people,,Students into high schools or colleges,,The rich men who are afraid from their first wives & afraid from their wives families as well,,Its almost egyptian-egyptian issue,,There is many cases of egyptian-western involvement also,,Its when the guy wannna get laid or wanna sum of money to start his own business and cure his old sick mother.
