Abstract :
The marriage portion plays a key role in the marriage. According to the sacred orders of Islamic religious law, the marriage portion is a nominal gift which is given to the bride by the groom and can guarantee the permanence of the marital bind between the two. But unfortunately, nowadays, its legal claim on the part of the females has led to several social problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the social conditions and factors impacting the claim on the marriage portion by the newly-married females of Shahrekord city in 2010. The present research is a descriptive-analytic survey. The population includes all the newly-married females who have claimed their marriage portion in the court. The population was 90 sets including 2293 females. The sample, according to Cochran formula, was estimated 328 individuals, which was increased to 337. All the statistical units were selected as available. All the data were collected through two questionnaires, a researcher-made questionnaire and Alport standard questionnaire of religious siding, and finally the data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 19 and linear regression tests, lateral variance analysis, and t of independent groups. The validity of the tools was confirmed by content validity and the reliability was measured through Cronbach coefficient which was higher than 0.7 in all dimensions. The results showed that the socio-economical status was very high (9.8% very low, 19.6% low, 32.9% near average, 17.5 average, 8% high, and 5.9% very high). Also, the economical status of their families was lower than average; the understanding between the couple was 3.6% low, 38.6% average, 34.7% high and 23.1% very high. The materialistic motives of the respondents in marriage was higher than average. There had been 14.8% divorces in the natal family, the high percentage of which was mostly on the part of sisters of the respondents. There had been 30.3% history of addiction in the natal family, the high percentage of which was on the part of the brothers, and 12.5% history of penitentiary, the high percentage of which was on the part their brothers. The family conflict of the respondents was lower than average. Religious siding of the respondents was 34.1% external and 65.9% internal. The tendency to claim their marriage portion was 3.95% low, 32.3% average and 63.8% high. The results of the hypotheses suggest that: age, the amount portion, and religious siding were insignificant in the females' claiming the marriage portion. But the educational degree, the socio-economical status, the dating period, family conflicts, the scale of understanding, the materialistic motives, and the religious beliefs have significantly influenced the females' claiming the marriage portion
