One of the most important sets of criminal laws in the Islamic Republic of Iran is the Penal Code, which was approved by the Judicial Affairs Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on August 29, 1991, and approved by the Expediency Council on December 28, 1991. We will go into more detail in this regard below.

What is the Islamic Penal Code?
In general, every society needs a law in order to maintain order. Man realized this when he began to live a social life, and he still applies it today, when the law has taken on a much more complex form than at that time.

Today, the law in all countries, including Iran, is divided and classified into different issues to make it easier to refer to and how to apply it. The Penal Code is one of the most important laws in our country, and it is necessary for everyone to be aware of it. Therefore, familiarity with the content of this law is of particular importance, which we will discuss in detail below.
As mentioned before, the Penal Code was approved by the Judicial Affairs Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on August 29, 1991, and was implemented on a trial basis for 5 years, so that this law could be examined in practice. In 1996, the probationary period of this law was extended for another 10 years. Thus, this law was implemented on a trial basis until 2011 and during this period, the Islamic Consultative Assembly proposed a new Islamic Penal Code, which was implemented in 1392, and now the ruling and mother law in criminal matters of the Penal Code. It is considered a new Islam.

This law has 497 articles and 729 articles along with the law of punishment (ta’zirat) and it has repealed all the contradictory laws before it, including the law of general punishment of Iran in 1304.
In general, the Penal Code deals with crime, punishment, and criminal law. This law is the most important criminal law in Iran on crime and punishment in the country, which determines what is the punishment for each crime, how to prove a crime, how to reduce or increase the punishment of a crime and… In the following, we will get acquainted with the classification of the Islamic Penal Code.
