Examination of the Jurisprudential Dimensions of Spousal Violence/1

Spousal violence is a topic that has gained significant attention in recent decades, particularly in the discourse of women’s rights advocates. Today, through the formulation of various human rights declarations and charters, instances of such violence have been clearly defined and categorized, ranging from physical and psychological violence to verbal abuse.
However, is spousal violence limited to acts committed by the husband against the wife? Does the fact that men generally possess greater physical strength mean that violence is always perpetrated by the husband against the wife? Can the wife not also engage in verbal violence against the husband?
Dr. Zohreh Rajabian, holder of a Level 4 degree from Jāmi‘at al-Zahrā and a faculty member at the Office of Women’s Studies and Research, explores the dimensions of spousal violence and its various aspects in this exclusive article for Contemporary Jurisprudence.

Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Sayyid Ali Alavi Qazvini, born in 1963 in Qazvin, has long focused on legal studies alongside teaching Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and its principles (usūl). We discussed with him the conflict between principle and appearance, as well as the opinions and theories surrounding it. A faculty member at the Farabi Campus of the University of Tehran, he not only explained the concepts of appearance and principle with precision but also elucidated various foundations for interpreting these two concepts, accompanied by jurisprudential and legal examples.
