“…So whether the wife's country sanctions the change of nationality or refuses to acknowledge her marriage to an alien man to be effective in her nationality, continuing to recognize her as its national, the wife is considered an Iranian subject by the laws of Iran. In the former case, the wife has only one nationality, namely the Iranian one (Yassari, 2017). while in the latter case, both the wife's country and Iran recognize her as their national irrespective of the other country's method of handling the case.…”

“…Holding important information and security positions Therefore, in cases where a foreign woman, by virtue of her marriage to an Iranian man, remains an "Iranian" for the rest of her life, she will always be deprived of a portion of the political rights existing in her country, a fact which is against the Constitution and human rights. Concerning other civil and political rights available for Iranians, these women are entitled to them as well, for they have become Iranian nationals (Yassari, 2017). Of these rights is the right to movable and immovable property (ownership and acquisition), inheritance and the right to reside in Iran, to name a few.…”

As the first and foremost social institution, the family significantly impacts its immediate larger society. Also, the importance of family as a key figure in a healthy society and the necessity of strong relations between spouses make it imperative to devise the required legal devices. As women are prone to suffer and receive more damage in cases of family breakdown, the legislator should develop and establish more protective statutes concerning women's rights. This study uses legal research methods with a qualitative approach. To protect Iranian women's rights, the legislator distinguishes cases where an Iranian woman marries a foreign man and those where Iranian men marry foreign women. In the former case, the wife's change, or retention, of nationality is subject to the laws of the husband’s State. In contrast, in the latter case, the legislator enforces the unity of nationality principle. Marriage between Iranian women and foreign men causes women to experience many changes and limitations regarding their national and inheritance rights. Also, they may lose their Iranian nationality due to their marriage —in cases when the husband’s nationality, due to the law of the husband's State, is forced upon the wife. On the other hand, foreign women married to Iranian men, though forced to accept Iranian nationality, encounter fewer limitations resulting from marriage. Upon Divorce, they are neither forced to accept a nationality, unlike when marriage is celebrated, nor denied their Iranian nationality. They can choose whether to remain an Iranian national or recover their original nationality.
