Abstract

One of the most important common issues between criminal jurisprudence and Iranian penal law is the issue of blood money. Determining the amount of blood money and Arsh through forensic expertise in the field of the type and amount of crimes and their effects is one of the basic issues related to blood money law.Therefore, relying on advances in medical sciences and technology as a bridge, forensic medicine connects experts and judges in the field of criminology and truth discovery in order to achieve the rights and administrate the justice, and thus be effective in the work of the judiciary and How-ness of judgment and sentencing. However, in this way, we dealt with the challenging issues between law and forensic medicine based on jurisprudential documents and with emphasis on the expertise of forensic physicians, which is influenced by the advances of medical sciences and technology and cultural and social developments in society.The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method to investigate and analyze these challenging cases in three fields of fractures and bone injuries, beauty, injuries and limb injuries, at first, examined the relationship among forensic medicine, law and jurisprudence and then, introduced and analyzed some examples of challenges of determining of the amount of blood money and Arsh. Finally, reviewing the laws of blood money as well as updating the jurisprudential rules based on the requirements of time in order to solve the existing challenges revealed themselves of great necessity
