Domestic violence as a form of human rights violation has extensive effects on family relationships and, in particular, on the financial rights of the wife. Although the Iranian legal system lacks explicit and comprehensive regulations specifically addressing domestic violence, the husband’s civil liability in relation to violent acts can be examined based on general civil liability principles. This study aims to clarify the foundations of the husband’s civil liability in domestic violence and analyze its impact on the wife’s financial rights, including the dowry (mahr), maintenance (nafaqa), compensation for services during marriage (ujrat al-mithl), and the right to claim material and immaterial damages. The research method is descriptive-analytical and utilizes jurisprudential, legal, and judicial sources to examine the elements of civil liability: harmful act, damage, and causal relationship. The findings indicate that domestic violence by the husband can be deemed an unlawful act and provide grounds for the wife to claim compensation. Additionally, domestic violence may, in certain cases, affect the entitlement to or strengthening of the wife’s financial rights, especially in family law disputes. Ultimately, the study underscores the necessity of revising laws and enacting explicit protective regulations to effectively safeguard the wife against domestic violence.
