Justice in «the Housekeeping» of the Housewives

Justice is in the rank of the causes of judgments. Since jurisprudential sources and practical decrees are one of the sources of law, justice should also be considered as a “balance” and a measure of law. In this regard, if a law is not compatible with it, it should be reviewed and the gap should be filled. In the meantime, women’s rights are tied up with justice because at various times, in both the community and at home, oppression has been imposed upon them, which caused imbalance in their rights. One of the concepts related to women’s rights, which seems to be incompatible with justice, is the definition of “housekeeping”; according to official definitions, a housekeeper is considered as an inactive person in society and in the economy. This article has focused on this definition from the aspect of justice and it is adapted to religious and legal teachings to determine that not only is the above definition not a fair definition, but also, if we want to look at housekeeping fairly, it is one of the noblest professions that should have legal rights and benefits.
