Although temporary marriage is a form of legitimate marriages in conformity with legal and religious institutions of the Iranian society, in this study it has been considered as a social tradition and customary recitation of a religious order. In this study, the perception of respondents about the conditions and motives that lead to temporary marriage has been investigated. Qualitative method and emic approach have been applied for this aim. Data is collected through depth interviews with 26 women who reside in the city of Tehran (whether they have practiced mut'a or not). Concluding points of depth interviews revealed that "social strain", "religious facilitation", "cultural strain", "a feeling of essential need", "deficiency of marital interaction", "lack of opportunity for permanent marriage", "escape from permanent marriage and its commitments”, “relative preference of temporary marriage over illegal relationship” and preparation of the stage for permanent marriage are conditions which affect the temporary marriage for women. It should be mentioned that the results of this study are largely exploratory and do not attempt to generalize in any way, due to the small sample size.

Prison life experience is different despites individual differences, family, social and criminal prisoners, conditions and characteristics of them. This study was qualitative research findings from in-depth interviews with 20 women after releasing from prison. The prison puts women in a particular subject and very serious consequences for their marks. The vast majority of women are considered to be negative consequences, such as family and social exclusion, away from children and confinement effects on their learning and criminality in prison. However, the women said causing mass imprisonment positive effects such as cutting off communications networks and separating from a criminal record, vocational skills training, such as in prison and also to follow. All women- regardless of the crime, the prison context, power and violence- know that the person is connected to the outside world and sees punishment.

Nowadays, new developments in the realm of criminological studies have considerably aroused social science criminal researcher’s attention toward the other involved side, which are the very victims of such crimes. Considering this, researchers have attempted to investigate, through victim-oriented approaches, the ruling condition of crime creation so that they might take sufficient measures to prevent the crimes or reduce and alleviate their consequences.
This paper which is based on qualitative research aims to analyze the grounds for crimes committed against women according to their accounts.
This is done by means of qualitative reasearch methods and performed interviews with 65 women with the age ranging from 19 to 60.
The findings of this paper suggest that the interviewed women consider the following factors as the reasons underlying the crimes committed against them which include women’s carelessness, type of daily activities, behavior and dress code, violence in the private and public environments, familial disorder and lack of sociability, inconsistent self-defense trainings, urban environment disfiguration, existence of hidden crime-causing locations such as under passes and dark places, social and economical issues like unemployment and poverty along with women’s physiological features.
