Where Sunni Muslim personal law governs, which set consists entirely of categories of permanent marriage impediments?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In the Sunni classification, marriage within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity, affinity or fosterage is void. Witness deficiencies and the bar arising from four subsisting marriages are treated as irregularities.
Option feedback
Option A
Prohibited relationships by blood, marriage and fosterage are permanent impediments.
Option B
The witness defect is a procedural impediment and can be cured.
Option C
A subsisting marriage can end, so the bar to a fifth marriage is temporary.
Option D
The witness and existing-marriage impediments are temporary.
