A Juris-law Investigation on Conditions of Article 945 Civil Code: (the marriage terminated by death)

Article 945, in accordance with Imamiyah jurisprudence, has overlooked the circumstances of a marriage contract which terminates by the death of the ill husband. The conditions of this exclusive edict need more investigation in terms of capacity, cause and duration of the illness. The question is how that would be considered in case of marriage with an ill woman? This article applying descriptive- analytical approach seeks to unfold the ambiguities of the Article 945 by adopting the means of measuring certainty in exceptional cases and juridical basis. The conclusion says that the Article will be effected only when the illness soon ends up with death while no intercourse has already occurred between the couples. Accordingly, although the prime awareness of the illness has been considered neutral in the edict, the edict is not applicable in case of ill woman.
