=== Requirement of Religious and Denominational Compatibility in Marriage ===
=== Requirement of Religious and Denominational Compatibility in Marriage ===
In his Fiqhi works, Mohaghegh Damad considers marriage in Imami Fiqh not merely a legal contract, but a devotional and ethics-oriented institution that pursues goals beyond fulfilling individual needs. According to him, Quranic concepts such as affection (Mawaddah), mercy (Rahmah), and tranquility (Sakinah) must be included in the legal definition of marriage in the Civil Code of Iran so that this institution may regain its true place. He calls for a revision of the legal definition of marriage based on Quranic teachings.<ref>Mohaghegh Damad and Dadmarzi, "Comparative Study of the Nature of Marriage in Fiqh and Positive Law," p. 94.</ref> Citing the [[Rule of No-Hardship|Rule of No-Hardship]] (La Haraj) and the principles of [[Maslahah]] (interest) and the [[Rule of Justice|Rule of Justice]], he suggests that the requirement of religious and denominational compatibility in marriage be reread in light of social developments and the changing status of women.<ref>Mohaghegh Damad et al., "The Validity of the Requirement of Religious and Denominational Compatibility in Marriage in the Law of Iran, Egypt, and Lebanon," p. 25.</ref>
