Abstract
Considering the interpretive differences that exist about the "verses of the rules of marriage" in the view of Shiite and Sunni commentators, the present article is based on the question about the examples of interpretive differences about marriage with a comparative approach. The "verses of the rules of marriage" have discussed the legitimacy, prohibitions and requirements of marriage, and in each of these issues, there are several differences. This research is based on descriptive method and data collection is based on library method. The findings of this study show that in the discussion of legitimacy, Shiite and Sunni commentators differ in the permission of temporary marriage, so that Shiite commentators believe in the permission and most Sunnis believe in the impermissibility of temporary marriage. In the prohibitions of marriage, views on the creation of the womb through illicit intercourse and marriage with women of the Book differ. There is a difference in the supplies and functions of marriage, the issues of dowry and its amount, the payment of expenses and alimony, as well as the issue of looking, especially looking at a girl with whom he intends to marry, and some of the rules of intercourse.
