Moral loss is a kind of harm which damages the person,s non-financial right. At first, there was doubt about the possibility of compensation for this type of loss. For example, in the USA legal system, they did not pay enough attention to victim,s moral losses as they do for financial losses. It was argued that moral damages are not visible and so we don’t know the real loss and we should trust just to the victim.

In this article we try to study the methods of moral compensation in Iran legal system, and we will use the American studies about this subject and also the cases which raised in Iran judicial procedure.

There is no doubt that mother or father, who is not awarded to have the custody of the child by the court, has visitation right, as Article 29 of the Family Support Act (passed in 1391) and other related acts including Article 1174 of the Civil Code clearly recognize this right for them. However, Article 29 of the mentioned law claims that in addition to parents, relatives are rightful to visit the child. According to the law, visitation right is mentioned in divorcement chapter and therefore this question arises that their visitation right exists only when parents are legally divorced or they also have the right when parents live apart or even when the child is under custody of both parents. To answer this question, this article is pursuing to prove that relatives who are in blood relation with the child (known as relative relatives) do not have absolute and independent visitation right; In fact, their right is conditional upon death or absence of parents, unless emotional attachment and child's interest and prudence exceptionally necessitates visitation to relatives.
