An Approach to the Judicial constitiutionalization of Family law in the Iranian Legal System

The family is a social institution and a natural unit that we have witnessed significant changes in its definition, structure and function in recent decades. In many legal systems, the family is an ideological institution whose laws are enacted in the light of religious rulings; Laws that are typically authoritarian and the will of individuals to determine their relationships is limited and partial. However, because of the dominance of such rules, one should not ignore the individual areas of human life in the institution of the family and prescribe the violation of their most fundamental rights and freedoms. Fundamentalism is a phenomenon that seeks to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals in society at the judicial level, and the fundamentalization of family rights seeks to amend strict laws whose absolute application will result in nothing but crisis and turmoil in the family institution. It also violates the fundamental rights and freedoms of family members, indiscriminately and extensively. In this research, in a descriptive-analytical method, by reviewing and criticizing the views of proponents and opponents of constitutionalization of family rights and by presenting criteria in line with the Iranian legal system, we have designed and explained the theory of conditional constitutionality. Prevent the fundamental rights of family members and the fundamental values ​​of the family institution, and shine a light on the minds and consciences of our intellectual judges.
