Results: Violence against women's health includes a range of types of violence against women's physical and mental health. Violence against women's health includes physical violence such as beating, breaking mental and psychological violence such as female circumcision and rape. Jurisprudence, Iranian law and human rights documents do not have the same approach regarding all these examples of violence and according to the case, they have reacted to Ibn Nuha's violence.
Conclusion: The approach of Iranian jurisprudence and law towards all types of violence against women's health overlaps with human rights documents in some cases and differs in some cases.
