Tahereh Ishany پژوهشگاه علوم انسانی و مطالعات فرهنگی author text article 2015 per At present time, public poets and authors have conveyed problems by means of criticism, in order to protect the values of the Revolution and disseminate revolutionary thoughts. From among these women poets we can name Rakeyi and Kashani. The purpose of this study, conducted through analytic-statistical method, is to analyze the critical poems of these two poets, their thematic contents and methods of composition. The statistical analyses show that both poets have employed a realistic, and at the same time a borderless, attitude in criticizing social problems and human society; in a way that their critical poems are reflective of sociopolitical problems of the society and the time. Such kinds of poem not only highlight the active role of women in political and literary arenas but also approve social theory in literature; which considers artto be influenced by social and political contexts.

This has been expressed in verse 3 of Surat An-Nisā (the Women) in the Quran. However, the verse appears ambiguous as it has a conditional structure and the creed is bound by two conditions. The interpreters hold various viewpoints on the matter. The relation between the first clauses—expressed conditionally—with the second clause and its penalty is one of these ambiguities. The present study, while explicating various interpretations of this verse, existing narrations, literal indications, and other reasons presents a new interpretation of the polygamy verse which rejects it as an absolute and unconditional creed and binds it to certain restricted social conditions and requirements.

In the meanwhile, procedural laws governing family disputes and enacting the laws issued by the court are crucially significant since the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the laws and the methods of settling disputes have a direct effect on the rate of family disputes. Moreover, the conditions and method of enacting family-related laws and the predicted assurances for their enactment can influence and prevent social consequences and social problems related to enacting such laws. The present study, while studying the new family protection law, approved in 1391/2013, shows that the legislator has focused on or established proper rules and regulations in case of proceeding disputes and enacting due laws. Proper enactment of such laws can strengthen families and lead to better management of family discords.

According to Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, contradictions in exegeses are rooted in interpreters’ presumptions, presuppositions, and expectations. With that in view, the present study, while mentioning various presumptions hold by different intellectual approaches, has attempted to provide their exegeses with regard to women socio-political rights. It could be revealed that the extent and type of rights advocated by various approaches are closely related to their attitudes towards women. In other words, traditionalists (relying excessively on canonical texts for personal and social jurisdictional affairs) do not permit women political activities. On the other hand, reformists (believing that only general laws, with some partial details, have been mentioned in the canonical texts, and the verdicts related to details should be discerned by intellect) hold favorite views towards women political activities, even in case of governance, and do not consider gender as a determining prerequisite.
