The marriage contract regulates the relationship between the spouses, and it determines their rights and obligations. Some actions committed by one spouse that affect the rights of the other spouse are considered a crime, as they violate the texts that regulate the marriage contract. On this basis, the marital relationship is considered a formative element for the crime to occur in many crimes arising from the marriage contract, These crimes include the crime of contracting a marriage outside the court, and the crime of polygamy without permission. This type of crime assumes the existence of a valid marriage contract in accordance with Sharia and the law, and without it the crime is not committed.
