Abstract

Citizenship is the legal-political relationship of a person with a government, and as a result, granting citizenship is considered a sovereign matter. Therefore, each of the legal-political systems of the world impose strict rules for granting citizenship and accept only those who have successfully passed numerous political, economic, social and cultural tests and have proven their affiliation with that political system. to be Although the legal system governing citizenship, especially in articles 976 of the Civil Code, regardless of the nature of citizenship, in order to honor women Iranians and the provision of social services to their children from marriages with non-Iranian men, widely prescribed the granting of Iranian citizenship to these children with the additions of the place of reflection and caused damage to the body of the system of granting citizenship in Iran and the dignity of women. The negative effects caused by the implementation of this law, despite the short period that has passed since its approval, can be seen by disrupting the order governing the granting of citizenship in Iran, and the need to amend this law and other laws related to citizenship is felt more than ever. In response to the question "what challenges does the legal system of granting citizenship to people, especially children of Iranian mothers, and how should it be solved with a humane approach?", the present article, with a descriptive-analytical method, made suggestions to reform the citizenship system .
