Abstract
Background and Aim: In the Shia dynamic jurisprudence, equality in many matters has been considered for women. Many people have mistaken beliefs about the male guardianship of a woman and regard the affairs of the woman as subject to the permission of her husband. She is the woman herself. The only exception is surgery that may cause infertility and has no therapeutic indication.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study.
Ethical considerations: Honesty and trustworthiness were observed in presenting and publishing reports.
Findings: Unfortunately, in our current health system, there are misconceptions about obtaining consent from the patient's spouse in all therapeutic processes that not only have no juridical status but also have no legal status and even in many cases are contrary to the laws.
Conclusion: Spouse consent has no legal basis and no legal value in lawsuits. The only exception to cases that lead to infertility is the need to obtain the consent of the spouse if there is no life-threatening condition.
