To be honest, as well as violence and murder events against women, another important issue that disturbs public conscience is that people who witness themselves and other members of the society themselves most of the time/generally remain silent and inactive against such wrongful acts. The subject of this article will be the functionalization of self-defense in the context of justified defense in cases of violence and murder against women according to Islamic law.
