RNA – Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, ‎delivered a speech on the significant role of families on August 15, 2019, in a meeting with ‎some NGOs active in the affairs of families. Part of the Leader’s remarks has been published ‎today by his official website.‎

During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to four topics relating to the issue of family, ‎namely, “the survival of the family,” “the atmosphere inside the family,” “fertility,” and ‎‎“marriage of singles.”‎

The leader urged officials and NGOs to find practical ways to decrease divorce and boost the ‎foundation of the family.‎

He went on to point to the need for some rules and regulations inside the family to amend ‎some behaviors that are against justice. Injustice can be towards both men and women, he ‎said.‎

Referring to the significance of population growth, Ayatollah Khamenei said that with the ‎current rate of fertility, Iran will become an old country some thirty years from now and this ‎is a “great danger.” ‎

‎“There are certainly ways to improve the situation,” he said, calling on officials and people to ‎think of solutions.‎
