any of them is proven to have a mental irregularity, a physical disability, or other defects that the
jurists identify. Imam as‐Sadiq (a) said, “Matrimony is revocable in cases of leucoderma, leprosy,
insanity, and cystocele.”[2]
This ruling saves the Islamic society from such diseases that cause retardation and social
weakness. The jurisprudential bases of Islam sustain the modern articles that the international
health organizations have declared. The spouses’ blood, for example, should be analyzed before
marriage for recognizing whether any of them is affected by sexual diseases such as rrhoea,
syphilis, or others that are the main cause of the babies’ blindness or venereal diseases. The
calamities of such diseases are inherited genetically causing mental and physical disabilities beside
the other party’s misery, suffering, and other mental problems that deprive of a content life.

FAMILY
Family[1] is one of the principal elements of constructing educational entities, creating processes
of the social naturalization, forming the personalities, and providing the children with the habits
that persist forever. In other words, family is the preliminary seed of composing the individual
maturity and the structure of personalities. In most cases, children pursue their parents in habits
and behaviors. Family then is the most evident, accurate, and abundant of the other educational
elements.
The Significance of Families
Undoubtedly, family has the great effect in the construction of the individual behaviors and the
arousing of vitality and tranquillity in children’s minds. Through families, children acquire their
language, values and trends. Families contributed directly in the construction of mankind
civilization and the associative relations of people. It led man to learn the principals of sociology
and the rules of ethics and moralities. It is also the reason beyond the maintenance of many
professions and career that fathers transfer to sons. It is strange to notice that Plato’s Republic
that glorified the roles of the governments denied the roles of families. This denial led to the
belief that families stood as obstacles in the face of the allegiance and loyalty to the government.
For Plato, home, which enjoys a great value, is no more than a curse and an evil. Plato shouted
out “Destroy those walls that contain nothing but a limited feeling of the domestic life.” On the
other side, one of our proverbs is that “A man’s house is his secure fortress.”[2]
