Right to Divorce Given to the Husband

Only the division of husband’s property with the wife is a proviso proposed by the Supreme Court by way of its instructions of the years 1361/1983 and 1362/1984 to be included in marriage contracts. In accordance with the right given to the bride and the bridegroom to free will, this proviso is put to effect if both of them have consented to it at the time of making their marriage contract, as this is required by article 1119 of the Iranian civil law.Thus it is only on the condition given above that the husband has the duty to transfer to the wife half of his property accumulated during the marital life, in case he wants to divorce her.
