The eligibility of women for the presidency in Iran has remained a contested constitutional issue for over four decades. Existing scholarship has primarily concentrated on the doctrinal interpretation of Article 115 and its jurisprudential foundations, paying limited attention to the discursive and sociopolitical mechanisms that sustain women’s exclusion. This article addresses this gap by examining how legal ambiguity is embedded within broader structures of power.
Drawing on Foucault’s notion of “regime of truth” and Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital, and habitus, the study conceptualizes exclusion as a multi-level phenomenon. It analyzes the barriers to women’s presidency across three interrelated dimensions: structural (discursive ambiguity), intermediate (distribution of symbolic capital within the political field), and individual (internalization of gendered dispositions).
Methodologically, the research employs qualitative critical discourse analysis of constitutional debates in the Assembly of Experts, interpretive opinions of the Guardian Council, and relevant legal and jurisprudential texts. The findings demonstrate that ambiguity surrounding the term rajal-e siyasi (“political personality”) operates not merely as a technical constitutional indeterminacy but as a productive mechanism within a regime of truth that normalizes male political authority.
The article argues that women’s exclusion is reproduced through the interaction of institutional discourse, field dynamics, and gendered habitus. Absent transformation across all three levels, demands for women’s presidential eligibility are likely to remain confined to the symbolic sphere rather than producing substantive institutional change.
