Even though the man is not obligated to take care of the woman in the same way as in a normal Islamic marriage, he still bears the responsibility for child support for all children that result from the marriage. If he chooses divorce, tho, the wife is (as in regular Islamic marriages) entitled to nothing from the man but the mahr.<ref name="z047">{{cite web | title=Temporary Marriage in Islam: Exploitative or Liberating? | website=Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies | date=2012-03-11 | url=https://dayan.org/content/tel-aviv-notes-temporary-marriage-islam-exploitative-or-liberating | access-date=2025-09-02}}</ref> | Even though the man is not obligated to take care of the woman in the same way as in a normal Islamic marriage, he still bears the responsibility for child support for all children that result from the marriage.
