Abstract

The protection of men's rights in various legal systems, especially in civil law, is a very important and complex issue that requires careful study and analysis. The adoption of numerous laws such as the Family Protection Law is an example of this motivation and the creation of a transformation in the sensitive foundations of family law, but so far, a transformation that would balance men's rights in the field of civil law and would be expected by the legal community and Iranian families has not been achieved. The purpose of the present study was to study and compare the protection of men's rights in the civil law of Iran and France. Therefore, the research question was based on what are the similarities and differences in the laws protecting men between Iran and France? In this regard, the research method was descriptive and analytical, and the results showed that while France has achieved various legal and legal mechanisms in this field, Iranian civil law is also responsive to social and cultural needs in a different way with an emphasis on religious issues. The findings also showed that in the past, there is protection for men in special circumstances, such as providing special leave for men whose wives are in special circumstances. Supporting men's rights during childbirth can help strengthen the family institution, reduce the burden of responsibilities on women, and promote gender equality. By passing laws that pay attention to fathers' rights, a suitable basis can be provided for creating positive changes in society. Finally, some suggestions are made regarding approaches to supporting men's rights in Iran, considering the existence of appropriate laws in France.
