Abstract

According to the famous Imams' jurisprudents based on the evidence, such as narratives, leprosy and vitiligo that are among the defects of the couples. If these defects are appeared, the man is the rightful to terminate the marriage, but on the contrary, a group of jurisprudents, including Feiz Kashani, has considered it to be a common defect of couples, which, in the assumption of the appearance of that for any wife or husband, the other party will have the right to terminate the marriage. The present research, while referring to the jurisprudents and jurisprudence sources, has analyzed the documents of this rule and, with the preference of the non-famous viewpoint, has concluded that while realization of woman’s leprosy and vitiligo can give the man, right to terminate marriage, if the defect is confirmed for the man, the woman will have the right to terminate marriage. The main argument at this present article - regardless of the existence of narratives - is that if the woman does not have the right to terminate marriage, there aren’t any alternatives for her; unlike a man that if he did not have such a right, he could utilize divorce’s option.
