Abstract
The right to marriage, in general, means the right of any person to chose of the opposite sex for marriage and forming the family. This right is limited by various restrictions according to the value concepts and customs of the society in which the marriage takes place. In the meantime, the issue of this article is a case study of one of the issues and examples of this right, namely marriage with relatives. The famous public jurists (Sunni jurists) have considered marriage with relatives to be preferable and have issued fatwas to detest it. This approach is contrary to the well-known theory in Imami jurisprudence, according to which marriage with relatives is emphasized. The public jurists and also Allama Hilli, have based their argument on narrations that are apparently documented by the Prophet. This article, based on the descriptive-analytical method and library studies, has concluded that these expressions are narrative-like [not authentic narrations] and are only expressions of folk beliefs and from the the second caliph that have been attributed to the Prophet in the context of time and lack of validity. In comparative law, despite some differences in procedures, the same permissibility or non-permissibility (in terms of illegality and lack of legal recognition of the marriage relationship and criminalization of this marriage in the form of illicit sexual intercourse) is also observed, based on medical research and based on some folk beliefs.
