(A) "Asalam-o-Alaikom,

The question is that i want Mutah Marriage and i want to confirm that is her father or grandfather permission is compulsory or not.

To protect our self from GUNAH. 
Please do solve my problem and i will be waiting for ur Reply. Allah Hafiz."

I would also like to ask the following questions:

1) Does a man married in Nikah need his wife's permission to marry other women in Nikah (Polygyny)?

2) Does a man married in Nikah need his wife's permission to marry other women in Mutah?

3) Is a man allowed to have more than one Mutah wife at a time?

4) If a man and a woman are secretly (the girls father does not know) in a haram girlfriend-boyfriend relationship - do they need the father's permission to convert the relationship into Mutah/Nikah?

5) If a girl has lost her virginity through haram relationships does she need her father's permission to marry someone in Nikah or Mutah?

6) What if because the father refuses Mutah or is likely to refuse permission for Mutah (as is mostly the case in the present age) the man and woman continue to have a haram relationship. Is it not better in this situation that they recite the seegha for Mutah in the hope that it is acceptable to Allah?

Thank you for your time.

Salamun Alaikum In principle, for a virgin dependant woman the permission of the father or grandfather is necessary. However, if the woman needs to get married to avoid falling into sin and her father or grandfather is not giving permission without any shari'i reason then the permission can be overlooked.
