    Abstract

    Introduction

     

    Knowing the family, getting involved in family matters and investigating the dimensions, branches and surrounding issues of the family, although it is known as the first social unit, but it has many complications. So that knowing its importance, effects and functions is of great interest to the experts of social, legal, psychological and even economic issues. Based on this, as many definitions of it have been presented and its importance has been emphasized in various personal, social, etc. fields, different functions have also been considered for it, so it would be very simplistic to introduce only one or two functions for it. "The creation of man also has the secret of his survival. The desire of men and women to have intercourse with each other is a natural and instinctive tendency. All the words and poems written in praise of love and all the efforts to reach the beloved and all the seditions and conflicts that have arisen from this center are actually the noise of the caravan of existence so that the birth takes place and the generation of the masterpiece of creation remains (Katouzian, 1387: 11). Because man is a social being and in order to fulfill his needs for the continuation of life, he needs group life and communication with other fellow human beings. Among the needs are mental and physical needs that are fulfilled by marriage and family formation.

    There are different definitions for marriage; Legal burden and religious burden are the two main branches of the definition of marriage among experts. Marriage is "the religious and official binding of a man and a woman to start a life together (Anuri et al., 1381: 145)"; And also "it is a legal relationship that is established forever or for a certain period by means of a special contract between a man and a woman and gives them the right to enjoy each other sexually (Moin, 1377: 216)"; And another is that "marriage is an act that brings together two opposite sexes based on stable sexual relations, and it requires the conclusion of social contracts that legitimize physical relations; In other words: on the way to the realization of marriage, we must also witness the approval of the society (Saroukhani, 2015: 23). According to Islam, marriage is a sacred contract; A contract that is established based on specific regulations, customs, ceremonies, traditions and laws. In its shadow, obligations and rights arise for the parties, the violation of which causes punishment and punishment (Qaemi, 1375: 8). "Family[1] is a group of people who are connected by direct kinship ties, and its adult members are responsible for taking care of children (Giddens, 1387: 252)".

    In civil law, family has two broad and specific meanings. It has been used:

    1- Family in its broad sense is "a group of people who are connected due to marriage or relationship. This group is separated from other families with a special family name[2] and each of them is distinguished from other family members by their first name. In this way, family is said to be a group of people who depend on each other due to marriage or kinship. This broad concept is a relic of the past eras, some of its works can still be seen in our laws. As the "division of inheritance" among all family members (respecting precedence), having a common last name and the obligation to give to relatives in the direct line are clear signs of the historical work. A group whose guidance and support is with their father and the solidarity among its members brings rights and duties that do not exist among other relatives. In Article 1105 of the Civil Code, which assigns the head of the family to the husband, the family is used in the same limited sense (Katouzian, 1387: 14)..

    According to the definition of family, one can understand its importance and role in society; "Among the various institutions of society, the sacred center of the family is known as the best manifestation of the culture governing other institutions, the place to satisfy various physical, intellectual and emotional needs; This is because the preservation and health of relationships and the process of its goals provide the mental health of the society. All religions have defined the importance of the family and how to form this center and the behavior and duties of each member in different ways. Experts in social sciences, especially sociologists and psychologists, with specific goals in their studies by using scientific techniques, have investigated various phenomena related to this sacred institution, including its different stages, such as choosing a spouse, marriage ceremony, individual actions and reactions of members, the influence of social culture and traditions on the role, duties and interaction of a person with other people, finally, the family and other social institutions (National Youth Report, 2013: 1)".

     

    2-1: Statement of the problem and definition of the issue

     

    Social damages, anomalies, cases related to legal and criminal crimes, today more than in the past years, are exposed to the question that really and for what, We are facing all this crowding and increase of court cases in our country. Currently, many sociologists, criminologists and psychologists are trying to answer why, the social, legal and psychological reasons of many of these phenomena, each of which harms the social body in some way. 7 to 8 million criminal and legal cases enter the judicial system of the country every year, which compared to Iran's population of 70 million people, seems more than the common rate in other countries of the world. Custody of children.), has more sensitivity, because the threat to the institution of the family entails an impact on the existence of society and social pillars. For this reason, since the collapse of the family also leads to the collapse of the society, the sensitivity in this area is much higher than in other social areas.

    It is quite natural that the choice of the type of dowry and its size and amount should focus the minds of the families of the bride and the groom at the beginning of the family formation. Maybe this statement is not so irrelevant that families are confused in determining the dowry and do not know on what basis they should determine the dowry. Because due to not having a basis for determining the dowry, ways are chosen that sometimes do not lead to good results. It is better to examine this confusion in relation to culture. Because family formation is different in all cultures and subcultures of the world, but the mentioned point refers to the style of Iranian and Islamic marriage, which according to the national and religious ritual, dowry is determined before the registration of the marriage certificate. One of the common social traditions in Islam is the payment of dowry in marriage; In other words, from the very distant past until today, it is customary for a man to consider an amount as a dowry for a woman when he gets married, especially when his proposal is met with a positive response. Although the tradition of dowry payment, like other social traditions, has gone through many changes and changes in the past and has undergone various changes according to time and place, but there are many common meanings in it. Once upon a time, dowry was in the place of the price of a woman and in fact it was considered as the transaction of the marriage contract. Also, in a certain period it was given as a gift by the man to the woman's father and in another period this gift was assigned to the woman herself.

    Dowry is one of the rights of women which according to law and Shariah is created from the moment of marriage between a man and a woman, a woman can ask for it from her husband but according to the common practice of women At the time of divorce, he can receive his dowry, and by asking for dowry, it is proved that he intends to divorce. These days, discussions about small and large dowries are heard in all circles. Meanwhile, some - mostly the girls' parents - are in favor of a large dowry and others are against a large dowry.
