Inside the Islamic Republic, sigheh marriages are controversial. Critics complain that they are a form of legalised prostitution, while supporters argue that the short-term marriage contracts (which can last anywhere from a few minutes to 99 years) are a pragmatic loophole in a country that criminalises extra-marital sex; offering legitimacy and a right to inheritance for children. 1, record 1, English, - short%2Dterm%20marriage%20contract

En algunos países son posibles los matrimonios temporarios a través de un contrato matrimonial a corto plazo, conocido como "siqueh" en Medio Oriente y el norte de África. Esto, combinado con una edad legal baja para el matrimonio, significa que es posible sortear el acto ilegal de la prostitución infantil. 1, record 1, Spanish, - contrato%20matrimonial%20a%20corto%20plazo
