Abstract
The institution of family counseling is known as an effective tool in improving the quality of family relationships and preventing crises. In the Iranian legal system, family counseling is particularly important in strengthening the foundation of families and reducing social harm. This article analyzes the jurisprudential and legal aspects of the institution of family counseling in the Iranian legal system and examines the various administrative and legal challenges of this institution. In Islamic jurisprudence, family counseling enjoys religious legitimacy and emphasizes principles such as reforming the innate nature and enjoining good and forbidding evil. In Iranian law, family counseling is also considered a preventive tool for resolving family disputes, but in practice it faces problems such as a lack of expert counselors and transparent laws. This research seeks to identify these challenges and provide solutions to strengthen the institution of family counseling in Iran.
