One of the rights of women is the right to have children and motherhood. The pure religion of Islam, while emphasizing the strengthening of the family foundation, has paid special attention to the rights and responsibilities of mothers, considering their role in the development and upbringing of children. The right of motherhood and its support areas are also mentioned in important human rights documents. In the domestic legal system of Iran, in accordance with religious foundations and international documents, special laws and regulations have been enacted to support mothers. The subject of this article is the special supports that are allocated to mothers covered by the Social Security Law in the form of medical services and cash benefits within the framework of the commitments of the Social Security Organization. According to the results of this research, the current practice of the Social Security Organization in implementing Article 67 is not consistent with the appearance of the law. Currently, the aid under Article 67 is only granted to working mothers in the form of maternity leave. While, according to the apparent law, these aids should also be given to mothers whose husbands are insured men.
