Is it permissible for a woman who suffers from the harshness of her family and dreams of marriage to accept a married man's offer of an 'urfi (common-law) marriage, especially since he refuses official marriage and asks her to be a "friend of another kind" or a "mistress," out of fear of losing the last hope in her life?
