| Abstract | ||
| This article seeks to answer this question: What changes have taken place in the policy-making of the family institution in Iran? Hypothesized that the Islamic Republic system has designed policies in relation to the institution of the family since the beginning of the revolution in the aim of preserving the patriarchal family, but in the field of implementation moderation has moved. The theoretical framework of the system model and the method of historical-institutional research have been used. The method of data collection tool is also documentary-applied method. Findings show that the demands of different sections of society have placed the family institution at the entrance of the government policy-making system. Many idealistic documents have been compiled and designed with the focus on the institution of the family in Iran, and despite the multiplicity of these documents and laws, today we see that the system of the Islamic Republic has not been very successful in implementing them. | ||
