Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Sunni Muslim law distinguishes a valid marriage from an irregular marriage affected by a removable impediment. Removing that impediment can make the marriage valid. A permanently void marriage and a fixed-term marriage are different categories.

Option feedback

Option A

An irregular marriage may become valid when its removable impediment is removed.

Option B

A batil marriage is void. The premise describes an irregular marriage with a removable impediment.

Option C

The premise describes an irregularity at formation.

Option D

Muta denotes a fixed-term marriage. Removing an impediment to a fasid marriage does not create a fixed term.
