One of the most important consequences has been the expansion of premarital sexual relations in these countries. This pattern of premarital sexual relations gradually spread to other parts of the world. This transformation demythologized sexual relations and, in addition to increasing the age of marriage, created the grounds for the emergence of cohabitation. Islamic Iran has not been spared from these changes and nearly in the two decades, there have been whispers of the prevalence of this marriage model in Iran that result provoked researches with qualitative method in general.
