Most jurists believe that the wife upon marriage, is the owner of dowry and she is allowed to seal all types of dispossession. But sometimes the wife doesn’t receive her dowry; now the problem is that whether she is allowed any possession when she has not obtained her dowry? This problem has been proposed in juridical books, and the issue led to the assumption of some jurists citing reasons to her unjustifiability of possessions. This investigation has been done for the purpose of clarifying and reviewing the mentioned issue. The authors of the study, using descriptive and analyzing methods, and research on the terms used by jurists and their reasons and after categorizing all kinds of wife possessions in dowry, found the generalizations of this claim unwarranted and only in “EYNI” contracts that one of the sides of contract is not the husband, that the wife is allowed to take the dowry. But in wife’s absolute possessions to husband as well as non- “EYNI contracts” in relation to the person which is not her husband, taking dowry has no role and her possession is allowed. The reasons for this issue are initial regulations and general reasons for optionality of owner possession in her/his assets and specialist out of the failure to receive a dowry from reasons of interdiction of owner from possession before taking that asset.

This research aimed at exploring the effectiveness of encouragement training on promotion of general self-efficacy and resiliency of household-headed women. Research method was semi-experimental and in the form of pretest and post-test with control group. Samples containing 28 household-headed women were selected by voluntary sampling and they were assigned randomly in two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 10 sessions of 120 minutes training, whereas the control group didn't receive any training. Both groups were evaluated by the General self-Efficacy Scale (Sherer, 1982) and Resiliency scale (Conner & Davidson, 2003) before and after the training intervention. Results showed that a significant difference between experimental and control group, and this difference was in advantage of the trained group; encouragement training significantly increased the general self-efficacy and resilience of household-headed females in experimental group. Encouragement training can promote the general self-efficacy and resiliency of the female-headed household.

Throughout history women were not only responsible for the reproduction and education of children, but also had a significant role in peace and security of family. That is why the study of factors influencing their attitudes toward strengthening families is the main objective of this research and has a particular importance. This research was done on women faculty and staff members of Payam Noor Universities of Hamadan province.  The study was sociological in approach and its method was survey. Data was collected from questionnaires using simple multistage sampling method and subjects were 192 persons. Results showed that social factors (74.11%), emotional factors (70.24%), belief factors (69.5%), political factors (51.8), cultural factors (39.64%) and finally economic factors (33.94%) respectively affected the consolidation of the family. The end results of stepwise regression indicated that cultural, social and emotional factors (R= 0.721) were the most explanatory variables in strengthening the families anddespite expectation, the economic variable had little effect and was not entered in the explanation test. The belief variable also had a negative effect which was due to modern lifestyle and the use of foreign media. Basic strategies for strengthening families include teaching men to have an appropriate social behavior and express their interest and love toward their wife, have compliance in accordance with their own cultural life style and media literacy education.

Iran as a developing country (in terms of age and development level), has experienced rapid fertility decline in recent years. Fertility and childbearing are closely related to biologic and social conditions of humans. The purpose of this study was to identify the connection of social factors with fertility tendency. Using multi-stage cluster sampling measurement method, the data was obtained from 460 married women 15 to 50 years in Tabriz. The findings of multi and two purpose analysis results showed that religious belief is one of the most important factors in women’s tendencies to fertility. As shown in the results of multi-stage regression, the major part of tendency to fertility is religious belief (21%). Totally, religious belief, ideal number of children, social capital, the residence period in Tabriz and social status determine 30% of tendency to fertility. Findings of analysis showed that women’s age and social status have maximum and minimum effect on fertility, respectively. Finally, Bongaarts, Notestein, Leibenstein and Becker (1986) theories and also theories of social status, religious beliefs and social capital are appropriate in determining the relationship between social factors and tendency to fertility.
