The criminal intervention of the state in individual lifestyles in Iran, often framed as “protection of public morality,” represents a complex intersection of domestic criminal law, Islamic jurisprudence, and international human rights obligations. Relying on Imami Sharia principles, Iran criminalizes many personal behaviors with severe penalties, while its international commitments, notably under the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, impose strict limits on restrictions of individual freedoms. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this study examines the gap between Iran’s criminal interventions and the four key principles of human rights restrictions—legality, legitimate aim, social necessity, and proportionality—and highlights the lack of sufficient justification in many cases. Finally, it suggests domestic legal and jurisprudential measures to align criminal policy with human dignity and fundamental freedoms.
