Abstract
Violence and extremism against women in society and especially in the family environment, in addition to legal and moral aspects, have many physical, psychological, and social consequences that can endanger not only women's health but also the family and society. Violence against women has a long history and many factors and causes are involved in its occurrence. Sexual, physical, economic, verbal, and social violence are types of violence against women, each of which in some way suppresses their personality and actual status. However, referring to religious teachings and learning from the advice of religious elders can lead to appropriate solutions to deal with violence against women in society. In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method and referring to the words and sayings of Imam Reza (AS), in addition to enumerating the difficulties and dangers faced by women as a result of various types of violence depriving them of their mental security, we seek to infer the ways to deal with violence against women from Imam Reza's words and lifestyle. The findings show that Imam Reza (AS) while explaining the worthy position of women in society and especially in the family, criticized any humiliation of their personality and ignorance of their rights in various life issues, and emphasized preserving the dignity and respect of women
