After a woman gets married does obedience of her husband override that of her parents? Does the ruling differ for temporary and permanent marriages?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Husband's rights overrides parents' rights when both demand contradict. Wife must fulfill the rights of her husband after obeying Allah (SAWA). She has to always keep respecting and being nice to her parents.

Temporary marriage situation depends on the period agreed and the understanding between them. Short period marriage is not like long period marriage. In long period marriage wife needs to obey her husband as usual marriage but in short period marriage which was agreed just for sexual fulfilment, she has to fulfill her husband sexual needs then she is free in other matters of life like going out or working etc.

Bismihi ta'ala

The contract must be verbal, and therefore texting will not be valid. As for a verbal phonecall, as long as all other conditions and requirements are met, it will be valid.

You have mentioned the essential requirements, and reciting it in Arabic formula is not a must. As long as the due purport is said, in whatever language. 

Of course, something that was not mentioned is the female being from Ahlul Kitab, her having consent from father if virgin, and other details mentioned in practical book of laws. 

Furthermore, the female is the one who initiates the contract, and the male is to accept. 

And Allah knows best.
