If a husband and wife are married as per nikah mut'ah , it's possible the wife could become pregnant. This seems to open up a host of complications with regards to maintenance and custody. Google reveals anti-mut'ah web pages and isn't much help. However, I found this:
> A woman with whom temporary marriage is contracted, is not entitled to subsistence even if she becomes pregnant. -- Ayatollah Sistani
This leaves open the responsibility for the child(ren).
