BTW Karbala you seem to be unsure of the definition of Muta marriage. See the whole point that establishes a marriage is the legtimacy of having sex, thus, if this point is absent, you cannt call this marriage. It is a kind of engagement.
Mutaa marriage - as far as I know- has to be limited by time with a mutual consent between two parties, this is the major difference, of course the non inheritance is correct. As soon as this time limit is over, the marriage is automatically cancelled. See.
In Islam, there is a type of marriage called the Musafer's. When a person is travelling away from home, he proposes to a woman and explains to her that he is a stranger in the country and offers her marriage. They marry - with full aspects - when he has to go back home, she is given a choice to accompany him or divorce. Again divorce.
Insh aAllah i still have more.
