In which school of Muslim law is Muta marriage recognized?

Fixed-term muta marriage is recognised by the Ithna Ashari Shia school. It requires a specified period and dower. The Hanafi school is Sunni and does not recognise that temporary-marriage form; the offered Zaydi and Ismaili schools are not the school associated with this rule. It differs from permanent nikah and does not automatically create the same mutual spousal inheritance rights.

Current law: For persons governed by Uttarakhand’s UCC, marriage must satisfy its codified framework; the historical school-specific muta doctrine cannot simply be assumed to establish a valid current UCC marriage. UCC section 390 supersedes prior rules only insofar inconsistent on covered matters and preserves accrued rights and pre-commencement proceedings.
