Question:

One of my friend he has these questions for review.

Is Muta'a (Seeghaa) allowed with the people of book or not, especially 
the christians of today. I know that the regular marriage is only 
permissible with a Muslim. How about if the person is single and never 
married.

 And if it is, I read a long time ago in a Tawzeeh that the sermon of
Muta'a can also be said in a language other than Arabic. Please answer these 
questions under the authorities of both Seestaani and Khamenai.
     
2) For a man to marry, is the permission of his parents a necessity 
according to the Shari'a or not. A person who is living here in this 
society and wants to stay away from the sins but his society(parents) does 
not allow him to marry, if he marries without their permission is it
going to be a disobedience and punishable on the day of judgment or to 
save his A'qibat this disobedience and rebel to one's society is allowed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

1.Yes, temporary marriage can be contracted with Christian and Jewish women
of today - see Islamic Laws of Ayat Seestani, Masail 2406

If it is not possible to recite the formula in 'Arabic, any other language
may be used but the words must convey the meaning of the marriage contract so 
there is
no doubt - see Islamic Laws - Masail 2379

2. The permission of the parents is recommended but not necessary in the
situation you describe.
