Abstract:  

It seems that the approach of Iranian legislation in the sphere of family law is to protect the opposite of persons of the patients not themselves patients. For example, the Iranian Civil Code under Article 1123 not only does not protect of woman patients with certain diseases but also by giving the right of termination of marriage to man in fact protects the man's rights against woman patients. Also the Family Protection Act, year 1353 / 1974 in paragraph 13 of Article 8 will grant divorce right the other party in case of a childless couple. Here is the question raised is weather according to progress of medical science and treatment of some women diseases cannot prevent dissolution of marriage? Seems with approach of protection of women patients can be prevent from end married life by non-recognition the right of dissolution of marriage due to some diseases. In this article the approach to protect the rights of women patients according to legal principals and some statutes is examined.
