Today, the scope of all forms of violence has expanded so much that it has raised the concerns of most human societies. Women's legal status and their rights in any society are the best indicators for assessing the legal status of human beings in that society. In some societies, violence against women and girls, including psychological violence, physical violence, financial violence, is rooted in laws and regulations, some of which can be attributed to the roots of the law because of the necessity of following religious sources and texts and not adapting it to the realities in society, interests, needs and social necessities. The aim of this study was to investigate the legal context of violence against women in Iranian law. The research type in this paper was analytical-descriptive and was conducted using library tools. The findings indicate that in Iran’s legal system, some provisions in civil and criminal rights, as well as a bill to protect women from violence, have legislative protection against violence, especially sexual violence.
