Abstract:
In Islamic jurisprudence, domestic labor performed by women is not considered obligatory; therefore, the law grants them the right to demand compensation for their services.However, traditional culture disregards the rights of women; thus, the present study seeks to elucidate the impact and correlation between policy formulation to enforce the decree regarding the remuneration of female housewives, the enhancement of family strength, and the resolution of practical challenges pertaining to women's rights. The research employs a descriptive approach and utilizes documentary study methodology. Its findings suggest that the inadequate remuneration and status of women housewives in traditional society contribute significantly to various challenges, including discouragement from participating in economic endeavors beyond the household and a decline in the fertility rate. However, these issues can be mitigated through the judicious implementation of the policy derived from the right to demand wages that the Islamic legislator has incorporated. The housewife is a preventative measure that grants women financial security and independence, while also encouraging them to devote more time to their families and childrearing. Consequently, in light of population growth and the family-oriented development model, it is critical to contemplate the suitable framework and cultural basis for the complete adoption of the adage “housewife wage.”
Machine summary:
According to the results, the lack of valuation and payment for women's housework in custom causes major problems such as feeling of emptiness, depression and fatigue, and a tendency to economic activities outside the home, and consequences including a decrease in fertility; While with the complete and prudent implementation of a policy that the Islamic legislator has taken from placing the right to demand a wage, the problems of women's financial independence in the family and the nihilism of housewives' activities are prevented, and through this, financial independence and security are provided for women, and women's focus on family and child rearing will increase.
While the philosophy of the ruling on demanding the wage of housework is in accordance with women’s needs and prevents the emergence of the problems mentioned; therefore, by policymaking regarding the institutionalization of the implementation of the wage of housework rule and providing economic security for the needs of housewives and creating financial independence, by providing conditions through cultural, social, and governmental mechanisms instead of women directly demanding the legal right to the wage of housework, it is possible to prevent the emergence of problems such as feeling the futility of activities, depression, and other problems resulting from non-payment of the wage of housework, and create conditions in which the homemaker, while performing her role more effectively, does not feel a void financially and psychologically, but rather strives to consolidate her position as a homemaker in order to strengthen the foundation of the family due to the material and spiritual support of her husband and the government (47 :2018 ,Alavi &Ghamami ).
