Comparative Study of Adoption in Imamieh Jurisprudence٫ Islamic Law of Iran٫ and documents of international conventions

The phenomenon of homelessness in any society is inevitable and adoption is one of the important issues facing not only the Iranian legal system but also the legal system of most countries around the world. Adoption of orphans and orphans is a good thing, sometimes used to help them and sometimes for other purposes such as addressing the emotional needs of homeless people in human societies long ago, in Islam as well. Given the importance of the issue, many laws and regulations regarding orphans and orphans have been prescribed and Muslims are responsible for providing for their material and spiritual needs, and failure to supervise them has been dismissed as punitive and worldly. . Adoption in Iran with the adoption of the Law on the Protection of Children without a Guardian became legal in March (1353). In Iranian law as adopted by the aforementioned law, adoption has not been the same as in other countries. Following the laws of these countries, the present study examines this law after clarifying the nature of adoptions and examines the conditions, rights and duties of the two main pillars of this institution, the adopted and the adopted children, as well as the consequences thereof. It is hoped that this little research will be helpful in addressing the shortcomings and ambiguities in this area
