Abstract
In this research, the issue of violence against Iranian women, which is an undeniable fact and a historical and social crisis, has been analyzed. In this research, first the concept of violence, its origins and fields of influence are explained, then these fields of influence and dimensions of violence in the realistic novel Abbas Maroufi(1957-2022)’s The year of riot (Sal-e Balva) have been investigated based on the text of the novel Sal-e Balva with descriptive-analytical method, the authors have discussed the central issue of how violence against women and its dimensions are reflected in the novel Sal-e Balva and from what origins did it branch out? Therefore, by explaining the origins of violence in Iran's social context and its spheres of influence, and presenting a structured model to understand the dimensions, spheres and origins of violence against Iranian women, the examples of the statistical community of violence in the novel "Sale Balva" were examined. The obtained results show that most of the existing examples of violence in the Sal-e Balva originate from the origin of the social structure (tension and conflict) and the violence has the greatest scope in this novel in terms of psychological-emotional impact.
