authentic scientific articles.
Results:
Narrations and Quran verses on greatness and respect of a mother show the importance of
the maternal role. The maternal role is a fabulous facet of perfection of a woman and Islam has
considered spiritual rewards for it. In the Quran, many biological changes such as pregnancy, childbirth,
breastfeeding and taking care of a child and spiritual characteristics of mothers as the instinct
seeking a child or generosity towards child have been mentioned. Islamic rules have a duty to extend
this culture and aid mothers to achieve this right. Nobody can deprive a woman of it.
Conclusion:
In view of jurisprudent rules in Islam, if there is no limitation or natural barrier for a
woman to have a child but her husband’s illogical unwillingness for having a child; this is, according
to article 1130 of civil law, a kind of distress and embarrassment and the woman has the right to
divorce.
