Abstract

Realization of Ihsan (being married) in adultery hadd requires that the person has previously had sexual intercourse with his or her spouse. However, the couple must have the conditions during the intercourse so that they can be sentenced to (Rajm) stoning if they commit adultery. There is no consensus on these conditions. Despite the fact that Article 226 of the Islamic Penal Code adopted in 2013 considers the wisdom and maturity of a person necessary in Ihsan of a man and a woman, and in addition, the maturity of the spouse during the intercourse is valid in the ihsan of a man. However, the findings of the current study, which has been done by descriptive-analytical method, indicate that there is no convincing evidence for the validity of maturity and wisdom during the intercourse as a condition of ihsan, and that a person is mature and wise at the time of committing adultery is enough, although the intercourse with his/her spouse has been occurred in childhood or insanity. On the other hand, the couple's being Muslim is necessary for the fulfillment of ihsan in the case of at least one of them (the husband or wife) is Muslim and the narrated arguments is sufficient for that. Therefore, the provisions of the Islamic Penal Code in this regard should be reviewed.
