'Misyar marriage', 'Convenience marriage' or Travelers' marriage' is a newform of marriage practiced widely in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other gulf states. The 'Misyar bride' sacrifices some of her marital rights, such as expenses, fixed duration, and an abode. The scholars in Islam have different opinions about this form ofmarriage.

READING ON WOMEN ISSUES The present study therefore aims to explore the real status of 'Misyar or convenience marriage' in the texts from the Qur 'an, the Prophet s Sunnah, the practices of his rightly guided Companions and the Fatawa of the traditional and modern scholars. It will analyze them in the light of the current realities and situation prevailing in many countries of the Muslim world. The study adopts a critical yet objective approach in dealing with the issue. It is believed that the study will help the Muslim men and women to have clear insights on the issue based on the Shari 'ah texts, scholars' Fatawa andpresent day realities.
