This article concludes that in the Iranian shrimp system, a wife will get all the inheritance of her husband, not just half of heritage. She also obtained to get her husband's land that was previously banned in the old law. The cause of renewal of inheritance law in Iran state can not be separated from some aspects, covering normative and socio-political aspects as well as social reality, including the turbulence of difference of schools. All material of inheritance law and family is based on Shi'ah Itsna ‘Asyariyah (Ja‘fari) family law.
