The Principles and Necessities of the Family System in Iran during Reforms and Abnormalities, Emphasizing on Cohabitation as a Form of Family Injury

Cohabitation is a threshold situation that could not be named as "white marriage", but it is as a family injury and abnormality in Iranian Family. Cohabitation is an autonomic action to break formal rules of family. The main objective of this research is to address the necessity of rules which are appearing from the contravention. Therefore, we use ethnomethodology by emphasizing on its phenomenological aspects. Results are based on the data  gathered from families in Tehran. The results have indicated that individuals make different situations which are more liberal and autonomous by provoking abnormality and disobeying traditions of family, while family rules conquer their relations and alter that into a new form. Although this new form is made by individual’s volition but implicitly it is synthesized with traditions and rules of family. Accordingly, in Iran, family rules not only disappear even by disobeying in cohabitation, but also conquer in self-constituted forms. This affair shows radical necessity in complicated aspects of social life of family order in Iran that its therapy could just be found by itself.
