The Prophet Mohammad's family has a special position in Islamic denominations and in several cases jurists of denominations have referred to their news before issuing a Fatwa. From the view of Islamic denominations, Hazrat Fatemeh is the most important person among the Prophet Mohammad's family. This descriptive-analytical research was conducted with the aim of investigating the subject that how and at what level Hazrat Fatemeh's narrative jurisprudence has affected Islamic jurisprudential denominations; thus, related studies, including articles, books, and jurisprudential and narrative sources, were examined. After reviewing them, it was determined that there was no study examining the subject of this research. The results showed that Islamic denominations have impressed by Hazrat Fatemeh's narratives in terms of family and worship issues, in such a way that her narratives as a valid statement have been examined like other ones. Among Hazrat Fatemeh's narratives by which Islamic denominations have issued Fatwas or impressed are as follows: washing late woman by her husband, scheduling a prayer time on Friday, using the coffin for woman corpse, the verdict of Aqiqah and appointing someone to impose a Hadd on an adulterous slave. Using the coffin for woman corpse is among Hazrat Fatemeh's particular jurisprudential cases cited by the jurists of Islamic denominations.

This qualitative study was conducted with the purpose of designing a pattern of family stability based on Islamic teachings by the thematic analysis method. The research data were gathered from three groups of texts, including the interpretations of the Holy Quran, Hadith books, and the books related to family stability with an Islamic approach. After coding the main data of these texts, the preliminary and organizing themes related to family stability were identified and after analyzing them, the main parts of the pattern of family stability were obtained. The pattern consists of 7 organizing themes and 27 preliminary themes. These themes are as follows: God-oriented family, kindly and friendly relationship, compatibility and tolerance, adherence to Islamic ethics, adherence to rights and duties, mutual sexual satisfaction, and good relationships between couples and their main families. According to the results, some preliminary and organizing themes of the pattern are not found in any theories of couples and family, and the roots of family collapse are ignored in this domain. This pattern can solve the family problems in Iranian cultural context and these themes have a capability to design a model of prevention and treatment.

This research aims to investigate the fundamental characteristics of human natural psychology for a good education in adolescence based on Islamic teachings in innocent Imams' narratives. This descriptive-analytical research gathered Imams' narratives related to characteristics of natural psychology and they were reviewed and analyzed by a qualitative method. The results demonstrated that the following characteristics of natural psychology are fundamental for a good education in adolescence from innocent Imams' view: perfection, eternalism, desire for cognitive growth and intellectual-social excellence, tendency to goodness and badness, tendency to religion and right, love and kindness, spirit of independence and independence from others, responsibility, keeping and improving self-esteem, and desire for passionate and happy activities.

Governments have a challenge with compulsion in cover and it can be a controversial issue. Compulsion in cover is unreasonable, because, first, there is a conflict between compulsion in cover and an individual's natural right to select his/her own cover, and second, this right belongs to God and it has no relation with humans; thus, this descriptive-analytical study was conducted with the aim of the feasibility of compulsion in cover with the help of rights. The data were collected from books and research texts related to rights and jurisprudence. After reviewing the literature, there was no research examining the subject of this study. The results showed that due to the right to select a cover in four domains of God's right, people's right, positive right, and natural right, compulsion in cover by governments is reasonable. In terms of God's right, religious obligation of covering is in company of its compulsion in the context of society, because enjoining good and forbidding wrong makes it logical. Concerning people's right, the government can reasonably make the cover compulsory whenever it realizes that non-covering can tramples on people's right. In the matter of positive right, if the cover is legalized, the government as the executer of rules can make it compulsory in the society. In the case of natural right, the government is logically able to restrict the freedoms that lead to any kind of turbulence and depravity although they are among natural rights. Therefore, compulsion in cover by governments is a reasonable issue.

From a long time ago, the thought of respecting women's and men's rights has been one of the beliefs of the Iranian people who have inherited these thoughts in the form of poetry and prose for future generations. The present research was conducted with the purpose of investigating couples' rights in Persian traditional literature by a descriptive-analytical method. A comparative study on the legal-jurisprudential laws in the contemporary legal books and Persian poetry and prose works (from the fourth century AH to the contemporary century) confirmed the hypothesis that Persian-speaking speakers due to their knowledge on the principles of human rights, cited in Islamic jurisprudence and law, reflected these principles and their manifestations in their words. The findings showed that Persian-speaking speakers properly took into consideration women's rights as wives, men's rights as husbands, and their common rights, both materially and morally-mentally, and reflected them in their works that it demonstrated their attempts for strengthening the foundation of family; perhaps, today, this is an issue to which less people pay attention.

The present qualitative research was conducted with the aim of identifying marital well-being challenges by the method of grounded theory and the data were collected via semi-constructed interviews. The population included all married people in Shiraz in 2018 and 22 people were purposefully selected as the sample, based on the theoretical saturation of the interview. For analyzing the data, the interviews were coded and the main and core themes were identified. According to the findings, the nine main themes were as follows: the gap of communication and interpersonal skills, sympathy, critical and creative thinking, coping and general well-being skills, decision-making and problem-solving skills, self-awareness; and sexual problems and marital relations, the shortage of happiness and love, and marital conflicts. In addition, the gap of individual and married life skills and the gap of marital satisfaction were identified as the two core themes. Based on the findings, it can be said that the lack of individual and married life skills and the marital dissatisfaction cause marital inefficiency and dissatisfaction in couples' life. That is an important challenge for marital well-being and the reduction of marital well-being will threaten the foundation of family.

The gradual changes in societies that emerge from the modernism have caused to change the power structure in most Iranian families from authoritarianism (patriarchy) to semi-democracy. This change has affected all family aspects, especially, the legal rights of its members that one of the most important rights is guardianship's right. This study aimed to investigate and analyze the effect of this change on guardianship's right, so related references including legal and jurisprudential articles, books and texts were reviewed. According to the results, legislator, in consistent with the change of power structure in families, has made the observance of child's interests the basis for legislating new laws or modifying previous laws, and has limited natural guardian's guardianship applications. However, there are still some issues pertaining to the mentioned right on which legislator has not paid attention and so some legal gaps have been created. It is suggested that previous laws should be modified or new laws should be legislated by their jurisprudential capacities.
