Abstract :
Research shows that for various reasons, including the ease of online mixing of non-gay people, marital infidelity is increasing in cyberspace today. Despite the fact that virtual space was not a widespread phenomenon during the lifetime of Imam Khomeini, but from his guidelines about the media and loyalty in life, we can understand the opinion of that Imam regarding the main question of this research: the aforementioned betrayals, which are one of the main reasons for divorce. And the separation of couples is considered, in the current legal system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, what guarantees do they have in order to protect the society from the damage of this destructive phenomenon? In this research, first, with the library method, scientific data related to cyber marital infidelity and its damage to the relationships of people in the society and the opinions of Imam Khomeini about the media and loyalty in the family were collected, and then by studying the existing legal norms and laws, The legal status of cyber marital infidelity and the guarantee of criminal execution of their avoidance were investigated and the findings of the study were qualitatively analyzed. The results of the research show that despite the opinions of Imam Khomeini about the media and the necessity of marital fidelity, marital infidelity in cyberspace is not known in Iran's legal system, and there are not many legal enforcement guarantees to avoid it, and there are no criminal enforcement guarantees for this phenomenon. Can only be considered a subgroup of crimes known as illicit relationships. The technological complexity of marital infidelity, the novelty of their legal status and the destructive effects it has on people's lives require the legislator to provide the necessary enforcement guarantees to prevent this phenomenon.
