Abstract

Leaving marital life without reason by the husband can threaten the consolidation of the family and cause hardship to the wife. One of the ways to prevent such actions in the society is criminalization in this field. Considering the legal gap in this article, we peruse the possibility of criminalizing leaving marital life without reason by the husband, and in what form and under what title is it possible to criminalize it? Considering that leaving the marital life without reason does not provide the wife's main rights, Jurisprudence books have ruled to Noshuz. In this case, the wife advises the husband to return to life. If the advice is not useful, she will refer to the judge. At first, the judge prohibits the husband from this action, if the prohibition does not lead to any result, the judge can punish (ta'zir) the husband according to the expediency and circumstances. If the ta'zir was not useful, judge has decided to divorce But in Iranian law, first the judge forces the husband to divorce, and finally judicial divorce is prescribed.
