Analyzing the legitimacy of the condition of not having children in marriage from the point of view of Imami jurists

One of the conditions that couples, under the influence of the current socio-economic situation, are willing to include in marriage is the condition of not having children, while the legitimacy of this condition is a challenging issue in jurisprudence. In the present study, we are trying to answer the question of the legitimacy of the condition of not having children by descriptive-analytical method The result of the research is that the legitimacy and obligation of the mentioned condition from the point of view of certain jurists is not a license to commit a forbidden act or to use illegitimate methods in order to fulfill it, and in case of disturbing the obligatory obedience of the couple, the condition is not permissible. Also, if procreation becomes necessary in the society under certain conditions, the secondary ruling of having children is obligatory, and in this case, the condition of not having children in the marriage contract is certainly not legitimate and obligatory.
