The Civil Code of Iran, also known as the Civil Code of Persia, is the principal codification governing private law in Iran. It sets out legal provisions on property rights, contractual obligations, personal status, nationality, family law, inheritance, and evidentiary rules in civil matters. It was enacted in 1928 during the judicial reforms of Reza Shah and completed in stages by 1935, representing a hybrid legal framework drawn principally from Ja'fari jurisprudence while incorporating elements of continental European civil law, including that of France, Germany, and Switzerland.
