It is noteworthy that; Through the investigations, it was found that although extensive research has been done in the field of women's rights and many books and articles have been written. However, so far, no independent and comprehensive research has been conducted to examine (the pathology of women's rights in the criminal justice system), and in previous researches, this issue has been addressed in a scattered and limited manner; And therefore, we are still facing a research gap regarding the subject under investigation; This justifies the necessity of conducting the present research. The findings of the research showed that the protections of the criminal law for women's rights can be examined in the form of the following cases: delay in the execution of punishment; Exemption from bearing dowry in crimes of pure fault (exemption of women from paying dowry in crimes of pure fault); Criminal protection for women in case of leaving alimony and criminal protection for women in the case of testifying. also; The legal gaps of women's rights in Iran's criminal justice system can be examined in the form of the following: women's rights regarding the proportionality of the age of criminal responsibility with reality (age of absolute and relative criminal responsibility; gradual criminal responsibility in jurisprudence and domestic laws); Absence of necessary legal protections regarding domestic violence against women and legal gaps in formal laws

The significance of confession in criminal actions and even in civil ones is such that legal scholars call it as the queen of reasons. Its importance is such that being always cited as the prominent reason in lawsuits. The accuracy and validity of the research has been investigated and there is evidence to confirm it, and may not be relevant to determine the accused guilt through the knowledge and inference of the court and thus, has no value and cannot even have a practice. Confession in this way is a perfect violation of citizenship rights in judicial proceedings. One of the evident examples of criminal justice is the observance of citizenship rights in the courts and the most profound element for respecting citizenship rights, security and freedom in court hearings, more particularly the defendants’ confession. Ensuring the rights of citizens and administering justice in all steps of the trial, including crime detection, prosecution, investigation, trial, punishment or security measures, is one of the basic duties of criminal justice. This article explains the position of “confession” in the trials and its validity with emphasis on the citizenship principles.
