Fatemeh Radi Meybodi, Saeedeh Rasouli

Abstract


Following the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Islamic countries also decided to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights based on Islamic teachings. In this way, a declaration in accordance with Islamic principles is available to Islamic countries and the differences caused by the religion of Islam are considered, respected and acted upon. Different issues have been emphasized in both declarations, including women and the family. Therefore, the present study is a comparison between two declarations in the field of women and family issues. The method of collecting information is in the form of libraries and the method of processing them is descriptive-comparative. We see significant differences and similarities in both declarations on women and the family. Among the differences are the issues of paying alimony, raising children and equality between men and women.
