This Research was a descriptive and analytical study that was conducted with the aim of understanding the active constructions of the joint life of men and women from family transformations in the transition process of their joint life. The implementation method was qualitative and implemented with the help of grounded theory strategy. Based on this method, the researcher collected the required information by referring directly to the participants and analyzed it during the coding process. The statistical population was selected from all the married employees of the free universities of Tehran. The required samples were selected with the help of targeted and accessible sampling. Finally, according to the logic of theoretical saturation, the final sample was determined to be 17 people. The data collection tool was a qualitative interview with open and semi-structured questions. Strauss and Corbin's open, central and selective reasoning was used for data analysis. The analysis of the data showed that the causes of family transformations in the transition process of their joint lives were stated by the couples to be the displacement of the values of the couple and the family and positive and negative external impulses that in the unpredictability and situation- variables occur; However, intervenors such as the quality of privacy within the family were added to the cause. In facing these impulses, couples used different strategies such as future-oriented understanding of the situation, interactive participation, and child-oriented time management. Manuscript profile

Context and purpose: There are two general and specific readings about the rule of negation. For this reason, three jurisprudential views have been formed regarding the scope of the rule of negation of gharr: The first view considers negation of gharr as abbreviated to sale and lease, the second view considers barter contracts as subject to the provisions of negation of gharr, the third view accepts the application of the rule and negation . Gharar is considered necessary in all contracts. As a result of this disagreement, the question is whether gharar is prohibited from the marriage contract or not. Considering that there is a difference in the nature of the marriage contract among the jurists, the purpose of the present study is to examine the nature of the marriage contract and explain the effects of the Gharari contract in the view of Imamiyyah and Hanafiyyah jurists. Materials and methods: This research is of a theoretical type, the research method is descriptive-analytical, and the method of collecting information is a library, and it was done by referring to documents, books and articles. Ethical considerations: In all stages of writing the present research, while respecting the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed. Findings: The findings of the present research show that gharar is included in the dowry in the marriage contract and is not in the marriage contract itself, because the marriage is a contract that is not invalidated by the unknown exchange, and the Hanafi jurists include gharar in the dowry in a figurative way. have known that there is ignorance in the form of dowry. Result: To determine the position of gharar in marriage, we must first explain and specify the month of the marriage contract. There are two views in this regard. For they know A marriage contract is also necessary and necessary, in contrast to some people, considering the sanctity of the family institution and its importance, and the discovery of the legality of the marriage contract, it is not merely a contract of exchange, and it is not possible to exchange dowry, for example.   Manuscript profile

The educational packages include anger management techniques based on cognitive reconstruction, and Yoder's psychological fatigue questionnaire (2010), Watson, Clarke and Telgen's (1988) excitement questionnaire, and Cohen et al.'s (1983) perceived stress scale were used to measure the research variables. The implementation method was in the order that first the subjects were selected by the screening method and were replaced in two experimental and control groups. Before the implementation of the intervention in each group, three questionnaires were administered as a pre-test on the participants of all groups. After that, anger management techniques based on cognitive reconstruction were taught in the experimental group, and finally, the same questionnaires were administered again as a post-test on the participants of both experimental groups. To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance was used in SPSS22 software. According to the findings of the research, the modified mean of the anger management experimental group in perceived stress, mental fatigue and emotion regulation is 30.46, 6.87, 65.88 respectively, and the mean of the control group in these variables is 35.86 respectively. 11/05 and 59/37. The average difference between these two groups in the post-test of the dependent variables of the research is significant at the level of 0.01.

criminal laws. It is not known, but under the influence of Islamic jurisprudence, it has been criminalized as fornication by violence and unwillingness. In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the concept of the crime of rape from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence and the doctrine of criminal law by using library sources, and to examine the legal response and how to prove it in the criminal process. Finally, we have come to the conclusion that in the Islamic Penal Code approved in 2013, the most severe criminal reaction is death for the perpetrator of rape. In the Iranian Criminal Code, it is possible to limit the issue of rape only by a male offender against a female victim. Iran's legislature is facing many shortcomings in the issue of rape, so that many examples of the crime of rape in criminal law are silent or at least not commented on. Of course, compared to the law of 1370, it has strengthened the role of the judge's knowledge in proving the crime of adultery as one of the proofs. Manuscript profile
