In Muslim law, 'batil' means void — a marriage that is void ab initio creates no legal rights or obligations. Children from such marriage are illegitimate. Marriages forbidden by blood relationship, affinity, or fosterage rules are batil. Contrast with 'fasid' (irregular) which can sometimes be regularized.
