Muslim marriage with those who respect the scriptures such as the Jews, Christian and Parsees is

irregular

void

Valid

Invalid

Explanation:

Here’s the thing:

- Under Muslim law, a Muslim man can marry a woman who is a "kitabiya"—that means someone from the People of the Book, like Jews and Christians. This marriage is considered Valid (Option:3) ?.

- Marrying a Parsee (Zoroastrian) or anyone not from the People of the Book is generally void—so, not recognized at all. That’s Option:2 ?.

- An irregular marriage (Option:1) usually refers to a marriage that has some defects (like marrying during iddat, or without witnesses), but not for marrying a Jew or Christian.

- Invalid isn’t a standard legal term in this context—it's not used officially.

For Jews and Christians, it’s a valid marriage under Muslim law, not irregular. For Parsees, it’s void.

Correct Answer: Option:3 - Valid
