Subject:	forgetting in Muta contract
Question:	What is the position on a person who is on the process of contracting temporary marriage forgets to mention the period of the time, does the marriage become permanent contract? How would they separate, by divorce and if by divorce, would they invite two just people to witness? Would observing period i.e. (Idda) be necessary after the divorce?
