چکیده مقاله :
Today, it is of particular importance to deal with human rights, especially women's rights, and to establish fair and non-discriminatory implementation of regulations regarding women in society, and to eliminate their legal discrimination. In this study, women's rights refer to the rights that women should have because of their existence. It is very important to deal with women's rights in every society from the point of view of social importance, and in order to create balance and justice in society, it is necessary to examine these issues properly to help social and legal issues in two religions. In order to achieve this, the present study examines women's rights in Islam and Zoroastrianism, which is the closest religion to Islam. There is a lot of similarity between the views of Islam and Zoroastrianism in matters related to women and family, they only have different aspects in matters related to dowry. In general, it can be said that all the things that were not mentioned in the Zoroastrianism have been mentioned in the religion of Islam or have been limited to a brief statement, and the topics have been stated in detail. Therefore, since Islam is the last and most complete religion, it has foreseen the needs and status of women, their rights and duties, and established laws for it.
