Abstract
Abstract The declines of the Iraqi Dinars value , after the Kuwaits events on 1990 , caused negative results on the Iraqi convention such as the increasing of the external absence divorce phenomenon which is usually done by the husband against his wife for a reason or none , because her postpone dowry was very low , particularly those dowries specified before 1990. So, this problem had to be settled in one way or another that led the Iraqi legislator to issue the decision no . 127 on 1999 which obliged the husband , in case of divorcing his wife , to pay the postponed dowry evaluated with gold at the time of divorce . This decision supported women , even though it could not stop the phenomenon of divorce , but it was somehow limited it and led husbands to turn to courts in order to separate between them and their wives . That separation was submitted to the estimation authority of the judge himself. In addition to the legal aspects of this decision , there are many other social and psychological ones in our society represented by the negative effects on the wifes psychology and the dowry evaluated with gold to the husband which might lead them to deviate and behave in criminal way which might be reflected upon the family and the society .
