Islam, OKI) menerbitkan fatwa "progresif" tentang Nikah Al-Misyar
(sekali lagi bukan "misywar" seperti judul diskusi yang pernah lama
berlangsung di sini), nikah model ini semakin populer.
Sekedar mengulang, nikah misyar ini:
= suami-istri tidak tinggal bersama, suami tidak bertanggung jawab dalam nafkah.
Fatwa Majlis menyebutkan:
"akad nikah di mana pihak perempuan rela kehilangan hak tempat tinggal
dan nafkah, dan bersedia dikunjungi oleh pihak laki-laki di rumah
keluarganya kapan saja suaminya menginginkan, siang atau malam, .....
adalah SAH."
Saya masih kurang jelas detil teknis pernikahan ini. Selain seks,
suami tidak punya tanggung jawab apapun. Bagaimana kalau menghasilkan
anak? Bagaimana kalau salah satu pihak ingin mengakhiri kontrak,
bagaimana prosedur talaknya, iddahnya?
Selain itu ternyata pihak perempuan masih bisa menentukan besarnya
mahar dan "maintenance cost" bulanan (lho bedanya apa dengan nafkah?).
Karena fatwa ini datang dari majlis "bona fide", akankah menjadi
trendi di Indonesia?
salam,

Misyar marriages gain popularity among Saudis
By Mariam Al Hakeem, Correspondent
Riyadh: Matchmakers are becoming busy by the day with the wider appeal
of misyar marriages in Saudi Arabia.
There has been a 50 percent increase in misyar marriages after the
issuance of a religious edict (fatwa) giving the alliance sanctity
last month by the Islamic Fiqh Academy.
"Among the regions in the kingdom, Jeddah tops in the number of these
marriages, followed by Riyadh, Eastern Region and Qasim," said Shaikh
Ahmad Al Omari, a licensed marriage notary (mazoun) based in Jeddah.
Shaikh Ahmad Al Omari, who is also an imam and preacher at a mosque in
Jeddah, said more marriage proposals come from men than women.
Speaking to media persons, he said: "I am getting requests seeking to
facilitate misyar marriages not only from various parts of the
kingdom, but also from several other GCC countries, some Arab
countries like Egypt, Jordan and Morocco and even from European
countries.
"Recently, I received a request from a 13-year-old girl asking for
misyar marriage for a mahar of Saudi 25,000 Saudi riyals (about
Dh25,000) and a monthly maintenance cost of 1,000 riyals." He added:
"When I made enquiries about the girl, I found out that she was living
with her mother and was in dire financial situation. For her, misyar
marriage is the only and ideal option left to get out of the
situation."
Referring to protests and objections raised against this type of
marriage, Shaikh Ahmad Al Omari said misyar marriage is being held
strictly in conformity with the provisions of the Islamic marriage
contracts.
"It meets all the criteria and conditions of an Islamic marriage. This
type of marriage will be valid only if the marriage is being held by
the parents or close blood relatives of the bride and with the consent
of the couple," he said.
He also drew attention to the recent fatwa issued by the Jeddah-based
Islamic Fiqh Academy, an affiliate of the Organisation of the Islamic
Conference (OIC).
The religious edict says that "a marriage contract in which the woman
relinquishes (her right to) housing and support money ... and accepts
that the man visits her in her family house whenever he likes, day or
night ... is valid."
Shaikh Ahmad Al Omari said several university students also made
requests for misyar marriage. "They want woman who own a house and who
are not seeking any cost of maintenance. They are not bothered about
the age of the would-be spouses," he said.
Shaikh Ahmad Al Omari also said several parties have withdrawn at the
eleventh hour before concluding the marriage contract.
FAST FACTS
Husband is not financially responsible
* The word Misyar is from the colloquial Arabic word for visitor.
* Misyar marriage is one where the couple does not live together
and the husband is not financially responsible for his wife.
* Misyar marriage is usually sought after by men who want to avoid
the burden of dowries and alimonies that are usually stipulated in
standard Islamic marriage contracts.
