The Challenges of Independence or Non-Independence of Possible Contracts

Aleatory contract is among contracts that are characterized by social transformations with many practical and practical implications such as different types of insurance contracts, pre-sales contracts of artifacts (Contract for Production), contracts of floating exchange (price), etc. Despite examples of these contracts in regulations, legislators have no statutory provisions about them. Therefore, the nature, rules, and effects of these contracts are ambiguous in Iranian law. The lack of proper definition about these contracts in rules has led to controversy over the contract definition and nature. Some lawyers have not considered an independent nature for these contracts and called them suspension contract, marriage contract, chance contract, and so. The issue makes problems for recognition of aleatory contracts nature, their terms and effects as well as it adds to existing doubts. Thus, comparing aleatory contracts and related contracts determines that the contract has independent nature and specific rules and regulations.
