        Although women's involvement in intentional homicide seems to have the same nature, it is actually done with different reasons and motivations. Women who assisted in the intentional murder of disturbing men are those who were harassed by disturbing men (killed) and by sharing the matter with their husbands and under their supervision, they committed the act of assisting in the intentional killing of disturbing men. This research aims to identify the factors affecting women's participation in the intentional murder of a disturbing man. The technique used in this research is observation and semi-structured interviews, and its method is grounded theory. In order to obtain the personal characteristics of the prisoners, their personal files have been used. The statistical population of this research is 6 women who were in Ray Shahr Penitentiary in 2017 for the crime of aiding in the intentional murder of a disturbing man. The findings of the research show that three categories of causal, contextual and intervening factors have had an effect on women's involvement in intentional homicide, which causal factors are: the disturbing man's non-adherence to moral principles, fanatical beliefs and honor worship of the husband. Background conditions include: migration and marginalization, mistreatment of women. The intervening conditions are: concealment of the truth by the woman due to the fear of her husband's harsh and violent behavior, coercion and domination by the husband for the woman's cooperation in the deliberate murder of the annoying man. Action strategies include: murder and violent behavior towards others, which have consequences such as the condemnation of women and their unfavorable situation, the punishment of the husband as a steward in intentional murder, and the disorderly situation of children.
