ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Misyar

Misyar is when two people decide to get married, but they don't live together all the time. They only spend time together sometimes, like on weekends or vacations. They don't share a home or expenses like regular married couples do.

Some people choose to get married this way because they want the benefits of being married, like companionship and intimacy, but they don't want to deal with the responsibilities and difficulties that come with living together.

It's important to know that not everyone thinks misyar is a good idea. Some people think it's not fair to women because they may end up doing most of the work in the relationship without getting the full benefits of being married. Additionally, some believe that it goes against the traditional idea and contract of a marriage.
