"Mut'ah" marriage is a marriage contract that explicitly stipulates a specific time limit for its duration. It is forbidden by consensus, and there is no difference in its ruling between a person who is away from home and others. As for marriage with the intention of divorce after a period, without explicitly stating it—for instance, intending to divorce upon the completion of one's needs in a particular country—this is valid according to the general body of scholars.
