#3 I don't know between Sunni but in Shia Iran it goes like this: man and prostitute go to a mullah and subscribe a temporary marriage, for, say, an hour (I know, I know, but they make provision for the time in reaching a house). After that they are automatically divorced.

Of course, the Mullah gets money for this.

#6 Temporary marriages in Iran can last from an hour to indefinite. They're also often used by live-together couples, especially where the girl's family would oppose a normal marriage.
