Abstract

Robbery is one of the crimes that the sentence of committing it against ordinary people is clearly mentioned in jurisprudential books, but in relation to conjoined twins as a part of a particular problem, the ruling of this issue has remained silent. However, in the provenance of the verdict, the enforcement of criminal justice in relation to this type of person depends on their specific circumstances. Considering the existing vacuum, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of conjoined twins on the crime of robbery by descriptive-analytical method. The findings show that the special conditions of conjoined twins can affect both the way of committing the crime and the way of the Hadd is done, so that in some cases, the realization of robbery in relation to them necessitates distinct conditions, and in some cases, the physical conditions of these individuals necessitate Hadd in a different way from normal people.
