要約:Article 37 (A) of Islamic Penal Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran (2013)referes to "one or two degrees of decrease in incarceration ". The wordingof the article makes two interpretations of the word "decrease" possible;according to the first interpretation, the word has a general meaning andcontains both "reduction and substitution". The interpretation is based onthree arguments, i.e. legislative intent, context (internal criminal co-text)and the rule of interpretation in favor of the accused. While criticizing thefirst interpretation, the present essay supports the second interpretation withreference to the semantic meaning, legislative history, purpose of legislation,and various contexts. According to the second interpretation, the word"decrease" in this article only means "reduction of the punishment"; hence,the substitution of another more proper punishment for incarceration willnot be possible according to article 37 (A).
