Which of the following is not a instance of irregular marriage under Muslim Law ?
Answer: B
The one that is not an irregular marriage is a marriage with a relationship by affinity.
Under Sunni law, marriages fall into three classes: valid (sahih), irregular (fasid) and void (batil). A marriage within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity, affinity or fosterage is void, because the bar is permanent and cannot be removed.
The other three are classic irregular marriages, where the bar is temporary or curable: a marriage without the required witnesses, a marriage with a fifth wife while four are living, and a marriage with a woman undergoing iddat. Each can be regularised once the impediment is removed.
