Abstract | ||
Majority of Shi‘a jurists believe in the absolute unlawfulness of woman’s leaving home without permission of the spouse unless for mandatory duties. Following majority’s opinion, a good number of lawyers have maintained that woman’s leaving home without permission of the spouse for any purpose is not allowed. In the present essay, proofs concerning this problem, including Qur’anic verses, hadiths, and principles, are surveyed and it is thereby proved that conventional exit without spouse’s permission, conditional upon observing spouse’s matrimonial right, is lawful. | ||
