Abstract Although temporary marriage has a lot of similarities to permanent marriage, it has its own conditions and characteristics. One of these characteristics is necessity of determination of term. Legislator of Iran hasn’t defined any provisions for maximum duration in temporary contracts. The purpose of this essay is to distinguish the power of parties in determination of maximum period in temporary marriage. It tries to answer this question: does being long-term effects the legal status and nature of temporary marriage? Based on general legal principles and study of religious sources, we should say that parties are free to determine maximum term of temporary marriage. Therefor being long-term doesn’t alter legal status and nature of temporary marriage by itself.
